Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who used to be a business journalist and was accustomed to querying politicians about inflation, was recently asked about rising inflation in Canada. This is what she had to say : “The inflationary environment we are seeing in Canada today is very much being experienced around the world. Those are not made-in-Canada factors, and so it follows logically looking for a made-in-Canada answer when those are the drivers is to be looking for the wrong tools.”
