Fuel prices in BC are out of control and are adversely effecting the residents of this province.  The ripple effect of the price of fuel is so wide that it touches almost everything we do.  The pain is not reserved solely for the pump.  Everything we buy that must be transported by freight, and services provided through taxation will have seen an jump in price as a result of these ridiculous and unjustified increases.  The tractor that plows the field, the trucks that bring produce to markets, fishing boats, clothing retailers, snowplows, emergency services, ferries, bus services and municipal fleets are all examples of where cost of fuel increases are passed along to be incurred by the taxpayer and consumer.

The next BC Election is on May 14, 2013.  Let this petition serve notice to all would-be public servants seeking election that fuel prices matter to the residents of British Columbia.  Simply put, there's no more to give.  We expect that fuel prices will be legislated in British Columbia within 90 days of the election and that the newly elected Provincial Government will, as the elected representatives of the residence of BC, have campaigned in good faith in this regard, prior to taking office.

Any party campaigning that will ensure that the price for regular gasoline will never exceed $0.95/liter, and the price of diesel will never exceed $1.00/liter will receive my vote in the May 14th, 2013 BC Provincial Election with the understanding that the new legislation will take effect within 90 days of the newly formed government taking office.
