My Predictions

Will any other Canadian provinces be discovered to have a Gas-Fixing scheme before July?

Settled as No

No reports of this happening

Background:

The federal Competition Bureau says criminal charges have been laid against 13 people and 11 companies for allegedly fixing gasoline prices in four Quebec markets.

[quote]There has been widespread consumer outrage across the country in recent weeks as gas prices have steadily climbed, with some stations in Quebec charging more than $1.51 a litre.[/quote]

The bureau has ongoing investigations in areas across Canada.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
An outcome of 'Yes' requires charges in any territory of Canada or province other than Quebec.

Clarification - If anybody is charged with a crime in regards to this matter the outcome will be 'yes'
ie. Conviction not required.

I hope this touches off a wave of such charges across America. They've been so greedy here, it's just so obvious they are gouging now.
