Tell me how you come up with annual inflation only at ~7%, when every figure you are announcing is well above that? I'm not math wizard but this doesn't add up

We’ve already been raising rates, are we just turning supply side inflation in to stagflation?

1. We are already in a recession 2. Thank your Finance Minister for her spending :) Max pain hasnt even begun yet.

Weeeeeeeeeee

CANADA is in a Recession, a Depression is inevitable & unavoidable. It’s not by accident, it’s by DESIGN, a FEATURE that the liberal_party JustinTrudeau want. On behalf of the WEF & K. Swabb. Why? Ask em, you’ll get double speak, lies, & misdirection in response. Guaranteed.
