Canada's Conservatives push a ten-month extension of federal fuel tax relief

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called for federal temporary fuel-tax relief to be extended a further ten months, through next summer, following his restructuring of the shadow cabinet into an "Affordability Team" built around cost-of-living messaging.

The UK's fuel duty freeze is the longest-running temporary tax cut in modern British fiscal history — a clean case study in the politics of the perpetually-extended temporary cut, excellent retail politics but corrosive for fiscal planning.
