“Provincial and federal governments have other tools to lower prices at the pump, as up to 40 per cent of the cost of a litre of gas comes from taxes.” “But there is another lever to pull: the clean fuel regulations.” “In July, the Nova Scotia regulator assessed the CFR compliance costs at 13.57 cents a litre for diesel and 12.24 cents a litre for gasoline.” “To add insult to injury, HST is charged on top of these costs. The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimated in 2023 that the cost of the CFR would rise to 17 cents per litre of gasoline and 16 cents per litre of diesel by 2030, and lower Canada’s GDP by 0.3 per cent.” “It is a favourite line of the Carney government that, amidst geopolitical rupture and trade disruption, “Canada is focused on what we can control.” The CFR is at the top of the list of self-harming, expensive and distortive policies that Canada controls, and has every interest in rolling back.”

🔥 When Mark Carney wants something (EU associate membership, the gun grab), he just does it, without Parliament’s approval. When Carney doesn’t want to do something, or it’s taking Liberals forever to get something done (clean water on First Nations, Arctic equipment), suddenly they “need another law” or it’s someone else's fault. 🤷‍♂️ Do we really need another bureaucracy to buy military equipment that defends our Arctic sovereignty and security?
