Letter to the editor: Inflation caused by greed, not by Canada’s prime minister

Mr. Poilievre is a promoter of the secret agendas of a dozen of the Canadian ”think tanks” for Mr. Hayek’s extreme economic theories.

Many U of C’s so called ”public policy” advocates hold their love of money and business over working people.

They ignore the ever-growing lineups at food banks.

Their solution to hungry children in schools; is to send them out training early for minimum wage, to prop up floundering subsidized business.

My ”rants” are against Mr. Poilievre’s blaming every little thing that he perceives wrong with Canada on Mr. Trudeau. Inflation is not caused by our prime minister’s compassionate help for the laid off, or laid up over COVID.

It is caused by greedy shareholders, CEOS, and bankers. Oil corporation and food corporation executives insist they have a God-given right to act like Scrooge at every imagined threat to the “international market;” while pleading for ever more subsidy from tax payers.

My father’s generation of businessmen carried on through tough times without ever expecting or receiving subsidies. People who call themselves businessmen and women today should be ashamed at the heavy and consistent lobby by their associations for taxpayer support.

If there is criticism about Mr. Trudeau and the liberals, it should be for their inability or unwillingness to tax the rich, who have made their money with the help of working people.

It is a sign of serious decline in character of CEOS who cannot acknowledge their responsibility to provide a living wage to employees.

Ripping off customers is bad enough, but business that rips off its own employees is seriously corrupt,
