I got to talking to a dear friend of mine on MSN this morning, Laura. She was struggling with a photograph for a website and getting frustrated with it. Then she showed me the website.
Mar-o. Mar-o is run by a Lawyer that Laura knows in Toronto. Mar-o stands for Motorists Against Rip-Offs. The website is about gas prices in Toronto specifically, but I think it’s a problem not just country-wide, but also worldwide.
Anyway, this guy is calling for a boycott of all Esso gas stations during the month of June. While there have been boycotts of gas stations before, I think settling for one gas station at a time is a much better idea. Denting them all one at a time gives people a chance to still gas up if they need to, but using someone other than Esso.
I suggest visiting the website of this guy and leaving a comment of support like I did. We will definitely be joining the boycott! Our gas prices are insane right now at $1.33 a litre, and there is talk of them rising as high as $1.50 a litre by the Summer. That does NOT bode well! While I don’t understand the ins and outs of gas prices and why they rise so high, I do know that something has to be done.
Ciao.

Yay, thanks Dawn!

Thanks for bringing some awareness to what he’s standing for!
