The volatility is tied to global crude markets and domestic tensions over federal energy policies. Central to the debate are Canada's carbon pricing mechanisms and clean fuel rules. While designed to drive decarbonization, these regulations are facing pushback from consumers and industry groups concerned about the immediate cost of living and transportation expenses.
