For those getting gas at Point Roberts, be sure to double check the machine for card skimmers. One of my friends believes his card got skimmed at a gas station there on Friday - he got a bunch of random charges to his card over the weekend.
He said he uses that card only at a few large US vendors, so it's very unlikely the card was compromised through those channels.

Any idea which gas station it is?
I would guess that most people here go to CanAM, Shell, or Chevron. As long as it isn't one of those 3, I guess we should be safer?

i wonder how can one install a card skimmer, i guess even if there's security cam, someone would have to check if there's an issue first before looking at someone walking up after hours messing with the machines

If it's the Can-Am, it's open 24 hours and not manned after a certain time... it would be quite easy to do.
That said I feel like where the card goes in on their machines is quite easy to see if there's a skimmer.

You guys should use the apps to pay. Links your rewards card (PCO, Air Miles, etc.), retain digital copy of the receipt. I've only tested Shell and Esso's apps, but assume Chevron probably has the same/similar.
All you have to do is pull up to a pump, input pump number on app and start filling.

Does it work in the US? My phone doesn't let me download the US Shell app - geographically limited or smt. Android things I guess.

Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk | The Android store app is called "Shell Canada & US". Haven't tested it in the US yet, but the Shell Canada website shows the 423 TYEE DRIVE, POINT ROBERTS location has Shell EasyPay so I would think it works.
Note most locations support the app/EasyPay however I've done pitstops in towns in the middle of nowhere which don't have the feature.

There are literally more places that take chip/taps nowadays that having the magnetic stripe is just a security vulnerability waiting to be exploited.

...so what's he gonna announce? break on gas tax? 10% off translink fares? lol https://globalnews.ca/news/8690280/a...ief-next-week/
The B.C. government is expected to announce a plan to support drivers next week, after weeks of soaring gas prices.
In an extensive interview with Global BC, Premier John Horgan said the province has taken its time to assess the gas price situation before unveiling a plan.

I was in PR last night and I notice the Can-Am has changed to making you put your PIN# in now instead of just putting it in and pulling out (teehee)

During the worst days with that 30L gas rationing, retail gas prices definitely remained steady during the rationing period. But it wasn't clear to me what the gov actually did to cause prices to hold still. Was it just a matter of arbitrarily reducing demand? Or was there something else that I am not aware of?

I don't know, it is tough. What is an effective policy we could realistically implement to reduce gas prices when crude is traded in a global market?

Late Thursday afternoon, the BC government announced a news conference would be held Friday morning at 9:30 with Horgan and Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General, Mike Farnworth.
While no details are being released, Daily Hive Urbanized has learned the announcement will be gas related.
Sources say relief could be on the way in the form of a rebate through ICBC for drivers.
It’s not expected BC will reduce fuel taxes or the carbon tax.

We will of course need to hear out the details of the plans tomorrow to see what sort of plans Hulk Horgan has, but if the funding for this is coughed up out of ICBC's coffers, then I'm not really sure how well I'd like it. It'll make the NDP no different than what the Liberals did back when they raided the ICBC coffers to pad up their annual revenue numbers, and the reformed ICBC that we have now is certainly one of the highlights that NDP has done much better than the Liberals had.

LOL
$110 rebate. Thanks.. https://www.alaskahighwaynews.ca/for...-plans-5198015
LIVE: John Horgan announces $110 gas price relief payment for B.C. drivers
The provincial government says ICBC will provide a one-time relief rebate of $110 to drivers to ease the financial burden of increased gas prices.
The province says most ICBC customers with basic auto insurance during the month of February will be eligible for the rebate. Most commercial drivers will receive a $165 rebate "because they generally incur higher expenses," the province said.
"People are facing increased costs through no fault of their own, but as a chain reaction that started with Putin's illegal war in Ukraine," said Premier John Horgan in the release. "As a result of our work to fix ICBC, we're in a position to put money back in people's pockets to help a little with these increased costs."

How the hell is $110 as a rebate going to help drivers in BC???
Perfect timing before gas prices go up even higher during the May long weekend. The start of summer driving season.
Thanks Horgan! 
What a complete joke in terms of gas "relief" !!
BC government helps people to help pay for about an average, a tank and a half of gas, for drivers.
