~When I got gas last week I paid 148.9.

Today the price is the same so no drop in price and no carbon tax rebate for me!

Fuckers!

Post your local gas prices today. Let's see if they really dropped.

I know Calgary was raising prices a week ago.

Give it time in some areas the price in down in others it is not yet. Greed is alive and well at the gas stations. Lowest I seen it yesterday was $113.

khonshubastet.bsky.social•1 day ago

ps ..highest was 140 something

More expensive today then it was the day Carney eliminated the carbon tax. So maybe it was not the tax driving up costs but the greed of O&G companies and the willingness of our traitor premier to protect their profits over the interests of Albertans

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Today is the day they were to drop the carbon tax off their prices. And yes, it was the greed of the O&G companies. I'm so pissed Carney let them get away with this. I'm disappointed.

benkalman.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm still hopeful once Carney is elected, as he enacts his plan he can look at gas prices.
I am confident Marlaina never will

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, me too.

selek437.bsky.social•3 days ago

How is O&G’s greed Carney’s fault? Here in Hellberta, they raised their gas prices before the carbon tax came off so they wouldn’t lose a penny of profit. Assholes!

benkalman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Their greed isn't his fault, but not anticipating what they were going to do was an oversight on his part

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did you see this? It seems there is something already in place.

benkalman.bsky.social•3 days ago

If it's in place, it's not being used properly, Ontario, Manitoba, etc all have cheaper gas then us today.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe he should have predicted that they wouldn't be honest and put some safety net in place to protect us.

But it seems there may already be one. 👇

selek437.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m not sure, but isn’t this a provincial matter? I’m not sure though.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not sure, either.

The Costco in Nisku, south of Edmonton, is $135.9, which is 3 cents higher than what we paid last week, IIRC. Gosh, do we think corporate greed might be a factor?

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•4 days ago

We expect better from Costco.

cindylee2102.bsky.social•2 days ago

I paid $1.38 last week and $1.20 yesterday in Central Alberta.

mygiddyhorse.bsky.social•1 day ago

But watch! Pierre/Danielle Smith with gaslight Albertans/Canadians as per usual and say it was all a lie put on by the Liberals. 😵‍💫🤦‍♀️

burleygirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

I heard on the radio yesterday that it may take some days/weeks to trickle down to the gas stations. I didn't catch the explanation.

cdngram.bsky.social•4 days ago

I call Bull shit... I had 3 gas stations. You can change the price in under 10 seconds... it is pure greed.

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

It was instantaneous in Ontario. Down 15 to 18 cents per litre.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•4 days ago

~The federal carbon price for consumers will disappear today in all provinces except Quebec.

"It is a point-of-sale charge … so you should see it come off almost instantly," Leach said.

140.9 in NW Calgary today.

whatsthetiat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yupp! Went from 158.9 last week to 140.9 today.
Gee! That’s pre-carbon tax announcement price!
Gas companies must think we are idiots. 😡😡😡

bigbangbear.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dropped about 20 cents in my area. Surprised they dropped it more than 5 cents to be honest. I am guessing in a few weeks it will be back were it was.

bigbangbear.bsky.social•1 day ago

Today it is back at 139.9, so about 6 cents less than it was days before Carbon tax was removed.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder what Carney has to say about this?

bigbangbear.bsky.social•1 day ago

We told you so🤷‍♂️

More seriously, it might have to do with chaos Trump is causing in financial markets, but who knows. Would guess that would be his explanation from someone that doesn’t know a lot about how the price is set.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•1 day ago

🤷‍♂️

canuk22.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's big Petro, I was expecting this.

bigbangbear.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only surprise I had was it went down as much to start.

canuk22.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hardly anything for us, we got screwed.

squamishviews.bsky.social•1 day ago

Gasoline went way up in Metro Vancouver after the carbon tax was dropped! Big Oil gouging drivers!

mellowcanuck.bsky.social•3 days ago

I saw a tempo gas on McLeod trail. 126...they might have adjusted by now lol!

brucegm.bsky.social•2 days ago

I paid $1.249 in Crowsnest Pass yesterday. They are ripping you off in Calgary.

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

$129.9 and $130.9 here in southwestern Ontario. Down 15 to 18 cents per litre.

Why is #Daniellezebub withholding the cancelled carbon tax savings from Alberta?

I can’t imagine. /s

Just to try and keep the anti-federal, anti-Liberal sentiment aflame.

She’s an asshole and a traitor to Canada.

bookgirl64.bsky.social•1 day ago

At the Costco in London, gas is $1.19 today.

andyrogers.bsky.social•1 day ago

😮

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•2 days ago

But is that in a premier's power? It seems more like in the individual companies.

enough-already.bsky.social•2 days ago

She has DEMANDS and won’t do anything that could benefit anyone other than herself. The O&G know they can make their own rules with her. Like the Felon, she is all ego.

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

I assume companies will do whatever they can get away with. I would argue that Smith is much more sympathetic to O&G than any other premier.

So they take advantage of that. She may not be directly responsible, but she is certainly part of the problem.

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Local gas prices for me.

sir-lacksalot.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle Smith said she'd be watching for price gouging when the tax came off, so that's comforting.

db5887.bsky.social•4 days ago

😂 watching from ??Panama or Florida?? Then just blame the Feds and the bertabillies will believe her! 🤡🤡🤡

whatsthetiat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why would she actually be watching when she can take a kickback from the oil company and say ‘gee we did all we could!’ When they did nothing. 😒

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

She lied.

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•4 days ago

And if you believe that you must a UCP supporter.

sir-lacksalot.bsky.social•4 days ago

HEAVY sarcasm. Trusting Smith to monitor anything to do with oil and gas is like trusting her to investigate her own corruption.

nana4031659.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sylvan Lake went up to 1.48
Week before, I'll let you know when I get gas today!
