I couldn't agree more. I wrote an op-ed in the Financial Post back in the fall of 2021 saying that the left and a government that claims to be progressive should care about inflation, because it's the most vulnerable who are most hurt by it. The wealthy have all kinds of savvy financial techniques and tricks they can use to escape the burden of inflation, but the poor and the middle class simply cannot.
I find it honestly a little baffling that a progressive-minded government was so nonchalant about inflation, and so was the Bank of Canada. They also bear a large part of the blame. I think it was both the federal government and the Bank of Canada.
