There are other countries that have inflation. They followed the same failed policies the government did. There are lots of times in human history when there seem to be a lot of people making the same mistakes. That does not make it right. To the Canadian who is going through the grocery store aisle and buying things we make here in Canada at inflated prices, it is no comfort to know that other countries are paying higher prices too.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7372654\" data-originallang=\"en\">Other countries made the same mistakes. They printed money. They have inflation. Some countries did not print money to pay for their spending.
