City considers listing it under the dangerous, hazardous and unsightly premises bylaw
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A group of Charlottetown residents is petitioning Irving Oil to do something about one of the city’s historic properties., calling on the multi-national company to restore the property at the corner of Euston and Queen streets or replace it with something else.
Carter posted a picture of the site on his Facebook page earlier in the month. The picture touched a nerve and led to the petition. “This has to stop. I’ve heard all of the excuses. It’s time to stop excuse-making,’’ he said. “There is nothing that can’t be fixed. We built Bridge, and they said it was impossible. This is the 21st century.’’
“Right now, we can’t confirm what properties are on that list, but the city is committed to keeping our city an attractive place to live, work and enjoy.’’ Ian Carter and a group of Charlottetown residents have started a petition on change.org, calling on Irving Oil to restore this Charlottetown property at the corner of Euston and Queen streets or replace it with something else. The gas station closed in 2008 and has been vacant ever since. - Dave Stewart/SaltWire

Why Hurricane Idalia won't move oil prices muchAs Floridians prepare for Hurricane Idalia, Lipow Oil Associates President Andrew Lipow joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the impact of the hurricane on oil prices. Lipow says, “the impact of Hurricane Idalia on the energy infrastructure is actually very small. The majority of natural gas and oil production, if you will, is to the west of Mobile, Alabama.” Lipow explains what he is “really looking for is the supply disruptions coming from tanker deliveries of gasoline and diesel being delayed into the port of Tampa, as well as along the Florida panhandle from Pensacola over to Panama City.” “For the global oil market,” Lipow says, we’ve been focusing on “the production cuts that we’ve been seeing out of OPEC+, specifically Saudi Arabia, as they try to get the price back towards $90 a barrel for Brent crude oil. And we’ve seen Saudi Arabia impose voluntary production cuts,” that Lipow expects will “continue through October and perhaps through the end of the year.” Lipow notes that “the oil market has been… disappointed with the re-opening of the Chinese economy and the rate of growth that we’re seeing in oil demand.” Chinese oil demand in the second quarter was “very robust” at '16 million barrels a day… but we expect that demand is going to start to slack in the third and fourth quarter,” Lipow says.
