Greetings Herle Burly-ites. This week, we have a returning guest of The Herle Burly– a distinction that makes him an official “Friend of the Pod”. It’s mandatory. Whether he likes it or not, godamm*t. Kevin Carmichael is here. Kevin is Editor In Chief at the Financial Post and you don’t get to that position unless you’re one of Canada’s leading, and award winning business journalists. He’s also a member of the International Governance Innovation’s roster of researchers and commentators. Here’s where I’d like to take the conversation today: 

• What else? Inflation. Where it’s going. What the government might do to provide relief.
• Bank of Canada plans and Tiff Macklem’s statement yesterday about wage growth.
• Then, the labour shortage. Why we have one, how we might resolve it, and the implications for the economy.
• And why is Minister Freeland and Finance so quiet through a tumultuous period like this?
