What I'll say to that is that, for your ordinary Canadian, one of the things that really make you feel like the system is stacked against you is that you get gouged by corporations in a difficult economic time. They raise their prices, which causes the inflation rate to rise, and then the answer is to raise interest rates. The people who were getting squeezed by outsized corporate profits before end up getting squeezed on their mortgages and on other products that they use financing to obtain.
It's kind of a double whammy for the Canadians who are caught in the middle of these forces that are a lot larger than they are. Getting gouged by corporations on the one hand and then having the monetary policy remedy be higher interest rates gets the Canadians again. The corporations that have these large holdings can actually earn more on those holdings by doing less, just by sitting on the money or purchasing bonds or whatever else, because interest rates are higher. It does seem like a system that's designed to help the rich get richer and have everybody else pay for it.
