Alberta Costco's are going to start charging BC members the extra tax on fuel bought in AB.
Will be added at time of purchase .

How will they know a BC resident, based on plate or where your bank card appears to be from?

I hear the BC gov't is going to put up a toll at the border, $12 A-hole, I mean Alberta resident charges.


That might stir the pot..........

Yah have to swipe your costco card to get fuel, my bet is they can program the pump to look at your address stored on your costco card.

The BC government tried this a few years ago and Costco told them to pound sand. Why would they just ask for tax on gas? If the BC Gov't thinks they have a case, why not go for the gusto and get tires, computers, TV's, etc., etc..

Wow, what's up with the government of BC they seem to be digging everywhere they can for extra revenue. This and the additional tax grab on all vehicles purchased in other areas.

The professional protestors union has demanded more money for protesting :rolleyes:
