Mark Carney summed up Budget 2026 in two words: “Lower costs.”

Here’s the math. Ottawa paused the 4¢-a-litre excise tax on diesel. But the Clean Fuel Regulations — the hidden carbon tax — still add 19¢ a litre. And the pause ends next year.

This budget didn’t touch the costs driving the affordability crisis. Two weeks earlier, the Liberals voted down a motion to scrap federal taxes on diesel, then voted against recognizing an affordability crisis at all.

Diesel moves your groceries. Tax diesel, tax dinner.

Add your name. Tell Prime Minister Carney: scrap the fuel taxes for good.
