You tried to rebut that claim by saying COVID & Russia are the cause of this crisis, and I again answered why far-left policies have contributed to both the COVID and Russia issues, exacerbating the inflation/affordability crisis.
You keep moving the goalposts on the discussion, and then ask why we're shooting on a different net....

What about COVID spending was far left? Almost every government of an advanced nation in the world engaged in similar spending. Hell, our current definitely not far left provincial government is about to engage in yet another straight cash hand out to 60% of the population.
Russia's war against Ukraine is pretty obviously not a left-wing policy. I would counter that it's clearly a symptom of the exact same right-wing ideological problems that led to this german coup attempt: there's a small, concentrated group with a tenuous hold on power and they're inciting nationalist/ racial view points in order to fortify/galvanize their remaining power base.
The goal posts haven't moved, you've just identified two points that could be considered far-right, so don't fit my ask.
Someone else answered climate change; hysterical, so we're willing to admit en masse that human caused climate change is a problem then?
Healthcare capacity issues: likely caused by many years of consistent underspending due to right-wing ideological issues, and exasperated by ongoing supply problems globally
Affordability: very likely the result of ongoing supply chain problems caused by COVID, then further exasperated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Monetary supply issues are secondary problem of inflation right now, that's why interest rate increases are having minute effects.
