What an incredibly revisionist take on history.

For decades before that policy, a policy even the Bank of Canada holds, inflation was crazy high. The 80s saw inflation, in Canada, briefly hit over 20%, and double digit inflation was a regular thing.

Everyone decided 2% would be a good rate to aim for, that more control was better, to prevent inflation from flying out of control.

Then some dude comes along and tries to spin it like it's a conspiracy to hurt people.

Please, read a little history. Please.
