Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland defended the Bank of Canada as inflation spikes and Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre goes on the attack

“It is clear to us all that we are living through a period of global volatility. We have COVID. We have the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We have China’s zero-COVID policy,” Freeland told reporters by teleconference from Munich, Germany after a G7 meeting.

“In this environment, responsible political leadership means reinforcing for Canadians, and for the world, our government’s very clear commitment to thePierre Poilievre, who leads in all polls ahead of a September vote to elect a new Conservative leader, has saidTiff Macklem “to get inflation under control” if he becomes prime minister.

Inflation inched up to 6.8 per cent 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.Article content

Since she sits on the board of the bankofcanada and hires /appoints new members of the board, The correct headline would be cafreeland defends her own performance.

Let’s all be thankful the cryptocurrency maniac isn’t running the country!

Aww, how nice of her. The Bank should be independent and continue supporting Justin in printing insane amounts of money while spending billions of Canadians’ savings. Chrystia, you rock !

Justin's work mom.

Of course she’s does . It’s they’re private ATM Machine .

Awww, doesn't she look sexy in that red dress. 🤣🤣🤣

This crazy broad almost wants me to jump over to Putins side.

Of course she would. Who do you think is supporting massive government spending by printing money out of thin air and robbing us all with the old hidden inflation tax.

Like what choice does she have? She’s a product of the product

She is one big bimbo

Freeland and Trudeau printed and spent billions, overheated the economy and the result is catastrophic inflation. They blame everything on world events, like their mismanagement had nothing to do with this disaster we’re living through.

Leave it to PP &his populus followers CPC_HQ to start screwing with foreign investment without even being in power Canada need PP as PM less then we in JT Hoping for JC PB or SA to win the leadership

The Liberal ATM why would they not defend it

Imagine that, she defends the bank who allowed them to recklessly spend hundreds of billions. Almost as if they are working together to protect each other after causing this insane inflation!

She also defends clown Trudeau so what does that tell you.

Why would she question the spending her government approved, as well as the constant printing press that has been working flat out for 2 years

She looks like she has some covid pounds

but she defends this guy

She needs to lose weight

That’s really surprising.

Of course She listens to Scwab and her globalist friends at the WEF.

Go Pierre!

I defend Pierre! And I probably represent Canadians more & better than she as Finance Minister does. cdnpoli

AdvocacyWarrior Poilievre is wrong and politicians should be defending arms length institutions. It's not just up to the BoC. Poilievre is a fool playing a dangerous game.

Interesting.... in the UK the Gov't is actively questioning the Bank of England on exactly the same issues. The Chairman has been on a 'hot seat' trying to explain their approach on inflationary issues. Once again our FedGov't just circles the wagons and covers up. Enough BS!

Of course she would, she probably has a stake in the bank of Canada…

Journalist playing the role of finance minister

PP doesn't know what he is talking about

She's such a jolly liberal. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to call someone a bigot and a racist. Then in the same epic rant, take out her Ukraine flag. Proudly waving it side to side. While reviewing her husbands pregnancy test. Love her!

She will say whatever JT directs her to say lol

Always nice to come in and see so many positive remarks out of the CONs. Aren't you sick of losing yet?

Of course she would, as she is looking at it from the lens of Russian history

The penguin!

Of course she would? They funded her spending addiction.

carefreeland....has no clue what is going on in Canada....another European Vacation....living the 'fat cat' lifestyle...I doubt she could find Canada on a map....

This Minister is terrible at her job.

Conservative finance critic says Poilievre's bid to fire Macklem hurts party's economic credConservative finance critic Ed Fast says he believes Pierre Poilievre's pitch to fire the Bank of Canada governor over the country's record-high inflation rate hurts the party's credibility on economic issues. Senate scandal? Can't the CPC_HQ tell from the writing on the wall that if PierrePoilievre wins the leadership race he will go rogue? If the party had any will to save themselves they will get rid of Poilievre long before 2025. The Bank of Canada appears to have only 2 tools to address financial conditions in Canada. Quantitative Easing flooding the market with money they print causing major inflation and Interest Rate Adjustment to control the inflation they cause.

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 Fast out as Tory finance critic after criticizing leadership candidate PoilievreEd Fast is no longer the Conservative finance critic, interim party leader Candice Bergen says. Bergen said in a statement late Wednesday that Fast informed her he will be 'stepping away from his duties.' Brown shirts in aisle 666. Never thought I'd applaud something Ed Fast did, but I do. Bergen should be out. At least Ed Fast has the class to call it right.
