The rise in prices (inflation) is caused by government overspending, which increases the amount of money faster than the increase in goods & services output.
That is the vast majority of the problem.
Inflation was particularly bad during the Covid years, as there was massive government spending, despite productivity plunging, as people were forced to stay home.
This is further exacerbated by excess regulation, which prevents the market from solving an unmet need (eg housing in high-demand areas).
Occasionally, there is monopolistic behavior by companies, but this is relatively rare and usually only possible if those companies have gained control of their industry regulator. Again, a government, not private sector, problem.
My decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening and there was no end in sight to this strike. Now that both sides have agreed to go back to the negotiating table I’m going to delay the return of Real Time, for now, and hope they can finally get this done.
Justin Trudeau is so desperate he’s now actively stealing from Pierre Poilievre’s speeches.
Enough is enough. Add your name if you agree: https://t.co/PWKD429B5B

Remember when Pierre Trudeau created Petro Canada to show how oil companies were surely gouging consumers & it's easy to profit in the industry?
Petro Canada lost money every year until the government got out of it.
Now think about it.
Pierre's son is even more economically illiterate and he wants to manage our food supply.
@mirtle Bruins, Rangers and Oilers all added players. They all look great. 2 shorties against, with a PP1 that has been together all season. New guys aren't the problem. Stop the excuses and show some heart.
