Gas price fixing

Kelowna gas stations are guilty of price fixing there is no doubt about it. Price fixing is supposed to be illegal, it appears it isn’t. One station puts their price up and the rest follow within the hour, even though they may have thousands of liters in the storage tanks that they paid far less for. The one and only exception occurred this past week and that is likely driven by the fact that people are suggesting price fixing, and it’s the stations way of saying no it isn’t, look we went a whole two days with different prices..

Government will do nothing because they are charging GST tax on other taxes, this is wrong and should be illegal. There are no controls, there is no one the consumer can turn to. Selling gasoline is a license to steal, by the stations, the oil companies and government. Politicians won’t touch it, the media sit won't touch it and the consumer is brain dead.

I challenge you, spend some time, do some research, publish a controversial article, put some heat on the stations, the governments and the oil companies.
