SIGN OUR PETITIONBOYCOTT ALL GAS STATIONS FEB. 17 | BOYCOTT PETRO CANADA FEB. 27 | TOTAL BOYCOTT MAR. 5
TOTAL BOYCOTT ALL ONTARIO GAS STATIONS, MAY. 5TH
As of Saturday 5th May there will be a Total boycott of every gas station in Ontario, this will run indefinitely every Saturday until such time the Gas companies realise we WILL NOT be held to ransom any longer.
Over the last few months we've seen excuse after excuse why gas must go up in price, first we have a fire at Nanticoke that could have been avoided had routine maintenance been carried out, for this one act of gross negligence alone we have all been held to ransom and been forced to pay through the nose for there shortfall.
The knock on from this was for all the other Gas companies to jump on the band wagon and hike the price across the board, the gouging's gone from strength to strength, we all know that there was no real shortage and even less of one now but we are still seeing price hiked, Why? Because there is no regulation to govern it and no government with enough back bone to step in and help.
Secondly we now hear Nigeria has run in to difficulty with domestic problems so again lets hike the price and perhaps the Canadian people won't notice, at what stage do we say STOP! Are we really looked upon as being so stupid we just sit back and take it? Whilst these companies gouge record profits and even have the audacity to promote the fact and rub our faces in it.
I'm asking you all to support this fight, say no to the gouging its gone on long enough, boycott Petro Canada permanently on a daily basis and avoid filling up on Saturdays from all other gas stations including Petro Canada, if we hit them back hard enough and for long enough they will fall in line, without us and our money they are finished.
Some of you may say the answer is not to drive, well we all know that won't work but we could reduce some of the unnecessary journeys we all make, car sharing helps, and yes driving a hybrid could also help, again an area you'll see no gas company involved in as it cuts into there precious obscene profit margin.
I've recently heard that 6 enquiries have been conducted by the federal Competition Bureau, yet no proof of price fixing has been discovered, does this not smack of total incompetence by this department, or are we to draw from this that what they do find is covered up by ministers further up the ladder, after all where will the money come from for the next election? And party political broadcast.
Again a question that should be answered, how many government ministers are on the payroll of these gas companies, and how many are major share-holders?
And further to this, think of all the tax the government makes, can we honestly ask them to step in and help us, with so much back hand dealing going on? The answer is no, but remember you put these people in power, you can also remove them, if your not happy write in and complain, let them no of your displeasure in the way you are being treated and robbed blind.
When was the last time you saw a Government minister driving a Hybrid or small Eco vehicle, setting a good example? You don't, they all drive round in their large trucks, SUV's or huge gas guzzling ministerial cars, the only difference is they claim it all back as expenses that you and I as tax payers pay for.
No other company or commodity would be allowed to prosper with such obscene profits made on the backs of the people as we see in Gas, this is legalised theft backed and promoted by government, only you the people can stop it, make yourselves heard, stand united together and fight, write to you MP, write to government in Ottawa, let them know how you feel, write to the Gas Companies, if you have accounts cancel them, show your displeasure.
Say no to more price increases and lets drive the price back down to a reasonable figure we can all live with, when I hear of parents who spend more on gas than they do on food and essential bills for there families a week then something is wrong, stick with me and help me win this fight.
