that

that can

>> Please read it and join with us!
>> By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about 69.9
cents
>>a

have

CHEAP at
>>69.9, we need

the

up
>>more each day, we consumers

price of

>> come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not
purchasing
>>THEIR gas!
>> And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we
all
>>rely on our
>> cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact
on
>>gas prices
>> If we all act together to force a price war.
>> Here's the idea:
>> For the rest of this year, DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from
the two
>>biggest
>> companies (which now are PETRO CANADA & SHELL). If they are
not
>> selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their
prices. If
>>they reduce
>> their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to
>>have an

>>Canada
>> gas buyers.
>> It's really simple to do!! Now, don't wimp out on me at this
>> point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to
reach
>>millions of people!
>> I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you
sends
>>it
>> to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it
to
>>at least
>> ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000). and so on, by the time the
message
>>reaches the
>> sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE
>>MILLION
>> consumers!
>> If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten
friends
>>each, then
>> 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one
level
>> further you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
>> Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's
all.
>> How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email
out to
>>ten
>> more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people
could
>> conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
>> I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential,
did
>>you?
>> Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense
to
>>you,
>> please
>> pass this message on.
>> PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES AND KEEP THEM
DOWN.
>> THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
>> YOU KNOW THEY LOVE HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER TRAVELERS.
 
boycott petrocanada because the government funds them - the government should not be giving mad amounts of cash to private companies because they are going bankrupt.

No matter WHO they are.
If they went bankrupt, someone would buy them out.

Instead the canadian government gives them 2 billion dollars and here
we have the same pathetic company on every corner.

1. There arnt 300 million People in Canada. The rest of the people who get it probably dont even know what Petro Canada.

we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control
the marketplace....not sellers
2. But.. Sellers actually do control the marketplace. Stop being ignorant, they wont change the price of gas. They have total control, and no chain letter will stop it.

3. This was proably started by Chevron to counter their competitors. HAHAHAH. :)

If the government gives petrocan money, it's because they OWN a significant portion of the shares (billions of dollars worth, I believe). They are currently looking at selling their shares in petrocan in order to free up that cash.

oh - and btw - I have no issue with government 'investing' - but invest in their own companies that are taking away from private companies :b instead of pumping it into some company that has the most lobbyist and friends in high places.

Problem solved.

For the people.
By the people.
Done right.
