ELMIRA, ON

While the surge in gas prices seems to have affected folks around the world, there is one group of people who seem completely oblivious to the change: Mennonites.

“Yeah, I heard the Englishers complaining, but as long as there isn’t a surge in the price of oats, I think we’ll do just fine,” said Jonah Eby of Elmira. “My Daisy here seems to be getting the same oats-to-the-gallon she always does.”

There are more than 200,000 in Mennonites in Canada and millions more around the globe and not a single one of them noticed the record-setting price at the pumps.

“I was an automobile driver myself there for a while,” said Mr. Martin. “Mind you, that was just a couple weeks for the freedom convoy and I gave that up pretty quick when I saw what it was costing me.”
