Canada’s economy is CRASHING toward recession… and Ottawa’s response?

SLAM the industrial carbon tax up $15 more on April 1 — from $95 to $110 per tonne. While our U.S. neighbours pay ZERO!!


This is economic suicide!

Here are the brutal facts:
• January 2026: Canada lost 25,000 jobs
• February 2026: Canada lost 84,000 jobs

109,000 jobs GONE in just two months.

Unemployment just spiked to 6.7%. Full-time work got demolished (over 100,000 full-time positions vaporized). The labour market isn’t “cooling” — it’s rolling over and dying.

And what does this government do? DOUBLE DOWN on the pain.

A new Fraser Institute analysis is crystal clear: pushing the industrial carbon tax toward $170/tonne will deliver 50,000 fewer jobs nationwide and slash average worker income by $1,160 a year. The economy shrinks 1.3% compared to freezing the tax.

Businesses are already slashing hiring. Now Ottawa makes energy, steel, cement, and manufacturing more expensive than our competitors?!

This isn’t “saving the planet.” This is sabotage!


And here’s what it means for YOU — everyday Canadians:

No flashy “15¢/litre” headline at the pump anymore (they hid that).


It’s worse. The cost is baked into everything:
• Groceries exploding (transport + refrigeration)
• Homes becoming unaffordable (steel, cement, energy)
• Businesses jacking prices just to survive
• Hiring freezing… or outright stopping
• Wages stagnating while your bills skyrocket

This is how you turn a slowdown into a full-blown recession.

Increasing the cost of producing in Canada at the exact moment jobs are evaporating is deranged policy.

When does the madness stop?!

Tell me I’m wrong. Or are we all just supposed to pretend this makes sense?
