The Trudeau government isn’t using all the tools to protect Canadians from inflation, economist says

… Prime Minister Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland have been reminding people that the factors driving inflation are not entirely within their control. Supply chain backlogs and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are the main culprits making life less and less affordable for Canadians — especially those on fixed incomes.

One expert said the government’s talking points on the causes of inflation are “a bit of a cop-out.”

“It’s a half-truth at best,” said Carleton University economist Vivek Dehejia during a panel discussion on this weekend’s edition of The House about what can be done to reduce the impact of inflation on Canadians.

They are however continuing their mass immigration plans. They hope to fight inflation by depressing wages. It’s a lie. It won’t work because the total of working class wages are simply not large enough to move the inflation needle. In truth it’s their justification for doing their corporate cronies a favour.
