Default BC proved no collusion on gasoline prices...but taxes are massive

NDP desperate to deflect from taxes.

Let’s see the BC government drive more business away and cause more price increases.

The science says the higher the taxes the more money Governments can spend. I don’t know why people keep fighting the science.

So the oil companies steal $.13/l and it’s the Govts fault.
I guess it is for not putting the crooks in jail.
In Alberts, we would have to build a stadium sized stockade for all the crooks.
Crooks are pump.

Big Oil, Imperial, Shell etc play a con/shell game on gas. If the small boys lower price to much one of them will low ball below refinery rack price, then force smaller retailers back up to the high price they want at the pumps. Works every time!
