The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says record gas prices, supply chain snarls and labour shortages have pushed the cost of doing business through the roof

It says higher transportation and fuel costs have driven 92 per cent of small businesses to increase prices in the past 12 months.

It’s also asking for the small business deduction threshold to be raised to $600,000 from $500,000, as is now the case is Saskatchewan, and index the threshold to inflation annually.“Every cent counts for small businesses, especially as they navigate skyrocketing input costs and labour and product shortages,” Corinne Pohlmann, CFIB’s senior vice-president of national affairs, said in a statement.

She added that more than half of small businesses in Canada have yet to return to normal revenue levels, and that premiers should make small business recovery a top priority.

Big Oil is gouging!

Trudeau can't afford it after he backs up the money truck for Bell, Rogers, Honda. All corporations that are highly profitable with incredibly well paid executives and stock holder. Each received hand outs in the hundreds of millions over the past few years.

Are they asking the oil companies? Because the tax rate hasn't changed.

There is no limit to the damage environmentalists will do to the economy in the name of their apocalyptic theories.
