    The exact same situation is happening in most (if not all) first world countries, regardless of if their government is left or right leaning.

    The effects are global, so national policy is going to have only small effects upon the greater trends.

        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.
