He says residents of North Bay feel they are being gouged at the pumps.

He brought a motion to council to see if they can start up a dialogue with Queens Park on regulating gas prices.

 Anthony says “if there was province wide pricing, I highly doubt southern Ontario drivers would be subjected to the kind of prices we’ve (northerners) have had. It would be much more likely we would see some of the prices they have had.”

The motion is being sent to neighbouring municipalities for support as well as FONOM, MPP Vic Fedeli, MP Anthony Rota and others.
