To the Editor,
Am I the only one who is disgusted with the big oil companies’ concerted price gouging and our greedy government that lets them get away with it because the higher the gas price the more taxes they collect?
On May 31, the price of a barrel of oil dropped to $86.84 which is more than $21 less than the price of a barrel of oil when a litre of fuel at gas stations was $1.399.
Also, all the gas stations jacked their prices to $1.449 per litre.
I guess they think that since we are Canadians, we will just shrug our shoulders and let them go on robbing us blind.
Funny thing is, we will.
