New federal clean fuel regulations, which take effect on Canada Day, are designed to cut pollution from vehicles. Although there won't be much of a change to pump prices across the country on July 1, experts say, there will be a noticeable increase several years down the road. (Kyle Bakx/CBC)

Everything disproportionately hurts the poor. It's so expensive to be poor, you have no idea unless for example you know or are someone trying to survive on the 13k the Ontario government says it is right and decent to give disabled people to live on.

I spent zero dollars on transportation over the last two years, and I took one round trip on the city bus the year before that. I spent zero dollars on clothes. The only thing this will affect in my life is the cost of food, since that is the only thing I can afford to spend money on, and there are so many larger problems presently affecting the cost of food it doesn't even make sense to care about this.

We need to address the problem of poverty in Canada but not through undermining climate policy. It needs to be its own thing.
