Canada has recently increased its carbon tax by 23%, sparking widespread protests among farmers and truckers. The increase has led to significant discontent, with protestors arguing that the tax hike is making it difficult for them to afford basic necessities such as groceries. Demonstrations, under the banner 'Axe the Tax,' have been ongoing for eight days, particularly on the Trans-Canada Highway in Alberta and in Calgary. Protestors have criticized the government for the rising cost of living, which they claim is outpacing wealth and income growth. The protests have drawn attention to the financial strain placed on citizens by environmental policies, with some accusing the government of declaring war on its own people through such measures.
