Canada’s ‘Relief’ Lasts 13 Days


Listen Later

Canada’s government says they’ve addressed affordability.

So we did the math.

A typical family of four spends over $17,500 a year on groceries — about $48 per day. The federal grocery rebate? $467.

That’s less than 10 days of food.

Add the 10-cent-per-litre gas tax relief that lasted just 3 days… and the total “help” comes out to roughly 13 days.

13 days out of 365.

In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down:

  • What the grocery rebate ACTUALLY covers
  • Why this isn’t real relief
  • How gas prices today compare to 2008 — even with lower oil prices
  • The hidden role of taxation in Canada’s cost-of-living crisis
  • And why temporary rebates don’t fix long-term problems

When politicians say “we’ve done our part”… this is what they mean.

Watch until the end — the numbers tell a very different story.
