Whose heavy hand is at work in gas pricing?

Dear Editor It seems odd that when people started talking about a more equitable way to finance TransLink, it would be to increase their take on the gasoline tax, when suddenly the price at the local pumps went from $1.09 to $1.

Dear Editor

It seems odd that when people started talking about a more equitable way to finance TransLink, it would be to increase their take on the gasoline tax, when suddenly the price at the local pumps went from $1.09 to $1.39, while the rest of the country stayed at around $1 a litre.

Could this be the heavy hand of local politics or the heavy hand of local oil companies?
