Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is finally gearing up to address our inflation predicament head-on, and not a moment too soon.
On Thursday on Bay Street, Freeland will deliver what’s being flagged as a “significant” speech on inflation, affordability and the government’s plan to guide the economy through the current turbulence to a smooth landing.
The Star has learned that she’ll have a $7-billion (or so) list in hand that spells out exactly how federal programs are ramping up to help those who are particularly exposed to the harms of inflation.
