The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s 24th Annual Gas Tax Honesty Report shows that Canadian drivers in 2022 paid an average of 55 cents per litre in gasoline taxes (based on a retail price of $1.76 per litre; exact tax rates vary by province, of course). Combining that information with Statistics Canada data estimating total gasoline consumption of 42.5 billion litres in 2022 means that Canadian drivers collectively pay over $23 billion in road use taxes annually to all levels of government.
Meanwhile, EV drivers continue to pay nothing. Besides the grievous disparity of this situation, Trudeau’s EV mandate would gradually remove gasoline and diesel-fuelled vehicles from the road. Then who will pay to maintain the roads for all those EVs to travel on? Clearly, EVs will need to be taxed in some way, and some provinces are just starting to do so, like Saskatchewan’s $150 extra annual registration fee on EVs, introduced in late 2021. But such baby steps will need to get a lot larger if gasoline-powered vehicles really do start vanishing from daily traffic. But having to start paying their share to maintain roads will make EVs even less attractive to car buyers.

Bondi was not an aberration.
It was a warning. Canada Is next
"On December 14, 2025, a massacre took place on Bondi Beach in Sydney during a Chanukah celebration organized by the local Jewish community."In the months preceding the massacre, Sydney witnessed massive demonstrations, including a widely publicized march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. These were not politically neutral gatherings. They featured explicit antisemitic and eliminationist slogans. Jewish symbols were demonized. Israel was portrayed as a uniquely evil entity. By extension, Australian Jews were increasingly framed as representatives of that evil.
What made the Australian case particularly dangerous was not only the role of hardened extremists, but the mass participation of ordinary citizens who had little understanding of the conflict and even less interest in moral complexity. For many, joining these demonstrations offered an easy reward: instant moral clarity, instant belonging, instant virtue. Israel ...
