Pierre Poilievre blasts feds amid Bank of Canada interest rate hike

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre blasted the federal government on Wednesday, following the Bank of Canada’s latest key interest rate hike, which is the highest in 22 years. Poilievre criticized the government for their stance on past and present hikes, saying Canadians were told the rate would remain stable for some time and wouldn’t interfere with their debt, which isn’t the case following the announcement.
