🇨🇦 Trudeau's carbon tax rehearsal: fuel surcharges crush Canadians as Iran war becomes the excuse
Trucking companies are slapping fuel surcharges on retailers across the country, blaming the Iran war for diesel spikes. Grocers are passing it straight to checkout lines. Inflation just hit 2.8 percent in April, documents show, and the Bank of Canada is eyeing rate hikes again. But let's be honest: this is just a preview of life under permanent carbon taxation. Whether it's geopolitical chaos or Liberal climate dogma, the mechanism is identical—fuel costs spike, everything moves by truck, you pay more.
Michael von Massow at Guelph says almost everyone is charging them now. Groceries, parcels, transit, beef, airline tickets. The entire supply chain is a pass-through toll booth and you're funding it. Carney's affordability photo-ops won't fix what policy deliberately broke. Sovereignty means energy independence. We chose windmills and virtue instead.
