Gas in Vancouver has been hoovering around $1.80 a litre. It's been fluctuating up and down slightly but started to spike as soon as they announced the NDP would be getting rid of one of the carbon taxes on gas.
So right before it drops after one of the carbon taxes is removed, the price spikes 14 cents for no reason whatsoever. That is organized crime. That is price fixing. Which leads us to remember that historically oil companies like the Rothschilds supported Communism. They didn't do it to share their wealth. They did it to increase their wealth by making consumers slaves.
Update: By evening it was back down to $1.75 a litre. That spike was completely unwarranted. Monday morning, March 31st 2025, gas in Langley went back up to 196.5 cents a litre. Later that afternoon in Surrey it was still 195.9 cents a litre. This is organized crime. This is not supply and demand in a free market. This is price fixing in a corporate monopoly.
NDP has done nothing to help reduce the price of gasoline. Nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they? Who do you think they work for, us?
DeleteSeeing the same thing in Winnipeg,gas 2 weeks ago was 1.36 as soon as the carbon tax removal was announced it spiked to 1.54 and has stayed there, I think the retailers knowing gas is going to drop by 17 cents come April 1st are building in their profit now and when it drops April 1st its going to drop from 1.54 instead of 1.36 and their profit margin stays high and yes I agree price fixing is the issue its like the word or text goes out every gas retailer across the city raises their price in unison literally within minutes of each other
ReplyDelete$1.36 ?! When the additional carbon tax is removed the oil companies don't make less money, they make the same. This spiking before it drops is BS. Why would it drop 17 cents April 1st? Is that how much the additional carbon tax is? I know Metro Vancouver pays an extra 10 cents a litre for Translink.
