But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.
