Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Statistics Canada reported October 30 that crude oil and equivalent production reached 27.4 million cubic metres in August, up 2.3% from August 2025. Oil sands extraction was the largest contributor to the increase. These are production-volume statistics, without seasonal adjustment; they do not measure household fuel prices or predict what drivers will pay next.

Production volumes and retail fuel prices answer different economic questions.
