Trudeau Liberals under pressure to do the same
Biden is calling on both the Senate and House of Representatives to suspend federal gas and diesel taxes for three months .
If passed that would leave Canada the only G7 nation yet to announce a break for drivers at the pumps.
Earlier this week, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told reporters Ottawa has no immediate plans to cut the federal gas tax.
Instead he says his government is taking other measures to help Canadians including increasing federal benefit cheques, cutting child-care costs and increasing Old Age Security and the Canada Workers Benefit.
Economists agree noting high gas prices are the result of supply shortages and they add the best solution is to start increasing production of oil to bring down the price.
