Faced with the Ontario Conservative government’s plan to force gasoline retailers to slap stickers on their pumps showing the cost of the federal Liberal government’s carbon tax, the association that represents the owners of more than half of the gas stations in Canada found that proposal “a bit partisan” and suggested a less politicized alternative.
Jennifer Stewart, the CIPMA’s president and chief executive officer, said in an interview that her association made the proposal in talks with the Ford government late last year. “We were told they were looking at a sticker—they were quite upfront about that,” Stewart said.
“We are non-political by nature, but we do want consumers understanding everything that goes into the price of gas,” Stewart told Maclean’s. Still, she said her members, whose companies own more than 7,000 of Canada’s roughly 12,000 gas stations, have no plan to defy the law or challenge it in court.

Of course they would, because they're not interested in truth -- they're interested in agitprop.
Wow no fan of Ford but of all the things to be fixated on this might be the silliest
