The oil cartel sets the prices. For example in BC there is only one refinery so they charge 30 to 50 cents more then other provinces. No competition, high prices. The real problem never gets pointed out. Same with our grocery chains. No competition. And the list goes on.
@MTFISHER yeah it's awful the highest I've seen the gas price in n.b was $2.07 diesel was the same that day too for a good bit almost 2 weeks of that shit (used to work at a gas station)
