🇨🇦 Canada produces enough diesel, yet Canadians still get gouged
That is the whole Trudeau-era scam in one sentence: resource-rich Canada paying more because Ottawa stacked taxes, carbon gimmicks, and infrastructure bottlenecks on top of basic energy supply. Poilievre now wants all federal diesel taxes removed until at least Canada Day, plus a permanent kill shot to the industrial carbon tax and Clean Fuel Standard, as reported. Amazing how quickly the ruling class discovers affordability after spending years worshipping at the altar of climate bureaucracy.
The real indictment is bigger than diesel. Canada already produces enough, but regions still rely on U.S. imports because the state would rather sermonize about emissions than build refining, storage, and transport capacity. That is not green leadership, it is managed decline with nicer branding. Every extra cent on diesel hits trucking, farming, heating, food, and the cost of keeping a cold country running. Liberal policy turned domestic abundance into artificial scarcity, then asked citizens to applaud their sacrifice. National sovereignty starts with energy sovereignty, not carbon theatre.
