🇨🇦 Rules for thee, exceptions for the central bank
The Bank of Canada helped torch purchasing power with years of easy money, then hiked rates into a cost-of-living squeeze, and now Tiff Macklem’s shop is defending its use of replacement workers after labour board rulings. The same governing class that sermonizes nonstop about worker dignity suddenly discovers managerial flexibility when its own bureaucracy is inconvenienced, as reported.
This is the real Ottawa model: moral grandstanding for the public, institutional self-protection for the regime. Liberal Canada loves unions until the state apparatus wants uninterrupted operations. Then principles vanish and the technocrats circle the wagons. The Bank of Canada is not some neutral priesthood floating above politics. It is a pillar of the same failed system that inflated assets, crushed wages, and hollowed out national stability while ordinary Canadians were told to accept austerity, debt, and decline with a smile. When elites break their own rules, believe them. The rules were never meant for them.
