Default Gas prices around the world

Here's something I came across today. I'm no greenie and don't believe any of Al Gore's BS about climate change (can't call it global warming anymore after a record amount of snow this winter). My question is with Canada being a large producer of oil why is there price so much higher (at least a dollar more) than in the US? I guess it's the taxes up there. If we drilled in ANWR, off the coasts of CA and FL, in North Dakota, and maximized the technology of coal shale in the west, I don't think we'd see that much decrease in a price of gas, IMHO.
