To the editor:
I recently moved from Alberta and the additional charges on top of the natural gas usage are very similar in Alberta.
Additionally, natural gas prices presently are at an all-time low. However, the amount charged for natural gas by the distributors for the natural gas are nearly twice as high in Alberta and are likely similar in B.C.
Governments in both provinces do nothing about this price gouging by the natural gas distributors.
The same applies for automobile gasoline prices where the price of crude oil has been reduced by 60 per cent but gasoline prices have hardly been reduced, only slightly.
