Another poll, Canadians say that water is wet.
“You don’t say?”
Yeah that’s…how it works.
Duh!
Just a crazy thought here: perhaps it’s time to work towards making driving optional in Canada?
My car has to take premium. Every time I go to the gas station I contemplate selling it
In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue. More at 6.
My personal opinion is that gas prices are just the last straw. How much have gas prices risen in one month? On a unit basis, they’re still cheaper than many other things.
No shit. Gas goes up and aside from the increased costs of driving a gas or diesel vehicle the transport companies charge more. That means food and other goods get a price increase because they can and just have to say „It’s because of the high price of fuel“.
I’m considering changing jobs I’ve been 5 years just to save 60$ a week on gas.
No shit! As gas and diesel go up, everything in the chain goes up accordingly. As long as Trump is in power this will continue. And for a few years after. He has devastated the world economy.
I mean, obviously. It’s gone up like 70 cents a litre since trump invaded Iran for no apparent reason.
No shit Sherlock (to the article writer)
We don’t want to change but when life starts changing without us we just get cranky and dig in harder.
I’m over simplifying here but that’s how I see it.
The world’s changing, we definitely need help to move with it but politicians aren’t willing to do the unpopular things anymore, we have to make them popular.
No shit.
You need a poll to tell you that gas prices affect finances?
Duh.
I thought Carney was helping, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax on gasoline and diesel from April 20, 2026, until September 7, 2026.
FYI. Recent comparisons highlight that while oil reached $100 a barrel in 2014 under Stephen Harper and again around May 2026, gas prices were significantly cheaper in 2014 (approx. $1.38/L) compared to 2026 (approx. $1.83/L).
Woah do explain
It turns out when I have to pay more for all of my everyday expenses I am left with less money, who would’ve thought.
“ Affordability is the best it’s been over a decade “.
The polls are wrong, people complain unnecessarily. Our leaders are working hard tirelessly to reduce immigration, drive better affordability and create more jobs. Good we gave them a majority.
In other news, bird fly in the sky!
Also, water found to be wet
Yeah and that’s news?!
Come on guys just raise those Elbows a bit more. We can partner with europe pay even more for shipping while coupling with more economies inefficient like us, and then pat ourself on the back for our amazing carbon tax.
Canada needs to stop and drop all carbon tax, reduce all red tape and build and allow investment by breaking up our monopolies forcing competition. And completely shut down all immigration for all reasons for a year or two then slowly reopen it back to a point based system. All while mass deporting ever criminal and person who overstayed or lied to get in.
Huge social and society upheaval would occur but Canada would stabilize and go back to being affordable and place people actually want to live.
No shit
Remember when Pierre told us that repealing the carbon tax was going to magically make life affordable again 😂
