RE:RE:Damned if they do. Damned if they don't.This is not just a Canadian problem. The pandemic forced nations globally to drop rates to near zero and print money. It was that or face depression.
Anyone here ever live through a depression? Not me, and I can bet the few alive today don't have pretty stories to tell. Think the GFC of 2008-9 and multiple that many times over. It's crushing. While I am not happy about resulting inflation post pandemic, the alternative would have been far, far worse had Central Banks around the world made the same mistake in the 30's and restricted the flow of money.
