And now, we get to the inflation problem, and how to invest around it. Canada has the highest debt/GDP in the world. I repeat. HIGHEST IN THE WORLD. See the chart below. Our children will inherit this problem. Rising interest rates will inevitably make it more difficult to service this debt burden – for governments and individuals. Taxes will have to rise to pay for it. At the same time, inflation is skyrocketing. The basic necessities of life – housing, food, transportation – are becoming increasingly unaffordable. And yet, what did our Liberal finance minister announce in her budget? More spending. More programs. More deficits. More debt.
