Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland defends Bank of Canada amid Pierre Poilievre’s attacks

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Friday defended the central bank as inflation spikes to a three-decade high and the frontrunner to take over the opposition Conservative Party pledges to fire the Bank of Canada governor if elected.

“In this environment, responsible political leadership means reinforcing for Canadians, and for the world, our government’s very clear commitment to the independence of the Bank of Canada and our confidence in the Bank of Canada.” Inflation inched up to 6.8% in April, with food price growth hitting a four decade high, upping the pressure on the central bank to hike interest rates quickly to avoid an inflationary spiral.

Freeland also told reporters the G7 had broadly discussed “further strengthening” sanctions against Russia, including the question of an oil and gas embargo.

Conservative finance critic says he’s disturbed by Pierre Poilievre’s vow to fire Bank of Canada governorFast, who is also helping run Jean Charest’s leadership bid but stressed he was speaking as finance critic, said Poilievre’s position undermines the party’s credibility on economic issues. Ed should bring it up in caucas. I’d be disappointed if Pierre didn’t say what he’s going to do about that Bank of Canada dolt using the bank like Trudicks personal ATM
