Original Note:
Trudeau has enacted no new taxes on food products during his term. The Carbon tax has been active since 2009 in some provinces, during PM Harper's term. The newest tax applies to fuel, not food. Food companies are experiencing record profits despite food price hikes. https://blog.clutch.ca/posts/carbon-tax-rebate-canada https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-intends-to-go-after-big-manufacturers-to-stabilize-food-prices/ https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/stricter-merger-laws-unlikely-cool-canadas-surging-food-prices-2023-09-18/#:~:text=The%20top%20three%20generated%20C,input%20costs%20to%20the%20grocers.
