      Ok I’ll bite. How does Canadian policy cause global inflation?

      The only angle that I can think of is that we’ve had a larger impact on carbon production than most other countries, and at least when it comes to global food inflation, climate change is having a noticable impact. So one might be able to argue that our role in climate change is causing food inflation. But I doubt anyone has actually done any peer reviewed studies on that so it’s likely just assumptions at best.

      I do think all levels of government have made some bad decisions that are unique to Canada, but yes they are. Our housing crisis is probably the worst example.
