Taxation, it's all about "baseline taxes".
Any sort of farmer or rancher has to burn a lot of fossil fuel to operate. This cannot be avoided. Higher fuel costs in Canada (thanks to the Liberal's "carbon taxES" there's two of them on fuel!) lately means that costs went up sharply. Either prices have to go up or costs need to be cut just to balance the books. Even when farmers have a bumper year & make money? They get the hell taxed out of them.
Inter-provincial trade barriers still exist, somehow. Despite 11+ years of Liberals promising to at least lower them, they still get sur-taxes if you buy something from New Brunswick, but NOT if you buy the same thing from New Zealand :/ That's lethal.
