Saw this on the news and am pretty shocked that a service like this is being forced to potentially close down because they cannot afford to fuel the vehicles any longer.

Reported on ctv news tonight that the program in BC (and possibly others across the country to follow) is on the verge of a shut down. Kind of makes you sick to think that services like this that are essential to many people lives are chopped due to the greed of the oil industry and the lack of action by our elected officials.

This is definitely the start of many services to go due to ever rising fuel costs.
