It's been a scorching summer across much of Canada, but that is cold comfort for ice cream truck operators like Meedo Falou, who says inflation and high fuel costs are melting away his profits.

"Ice cream went up over 60 per cent. We had to jack the price up by a dollar. We couldn't do more because of the consumers. We just want them to be able to afford ice cream." Falou is hoping to"make just a little bit" without having to dip into his savings as he did during the past two years of the pandemic.

It's not just local weather. Global climate events affect the ice cream business too, Christensen said. Falou started out driving an ice cream truck in the 1990s, which he called the"golden days" of the business. He said he made a lot more money then. But gone are the days when an ice cream truck could drum up business by simply driving around and playing a happy tune, said Christensen.
