Diesel prices in Canada are up 11 cents by Saturday morning alone. Six cents Friday, five Saturday, four to five more Sunday. April 15 adds another ten cents for the gasoline switchover. Iran tensions add ten to fifteen on top of that. Dan McTeague says we are back to 2022 levels and the clock is already running.

The oil story is the one everyone is watching. The natural gas story is the one McTeague says is a growing emergency. Iran hit South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the country, and targeted liquefaction plants. Those plants feed urea, fertilizers, and nitrogen. They take months to repair. Food shortages this summer are McTeague's direct call from that strike.

Iran wants oil at 200 dollars a barrel. Trump needs it under five dollars a gallon to protect his midterms. Neither of those goals is compatible with where prices are going.
