When people are struggling to put food on the table and all they see are their wages getting taxed, their purchases getting taxed, supply is almost doubling in price, housing is nearly impossible to fathom, how do you win that vote. All they see is loss on a face to face level.

There are geopolitical aspects to inflation. The united states exports inflation when it suits them, for instance.
However, it leaves the question about why gov'ts in Canada do what they can to pile on, often with questionable goals and questionable results.
The carbon tax is exactly this. Home building regulations are this. Government interventions in the mortgage market are highly inflationary. Complicated tax codes. Expansion of the number of public servants. Enforcing monopolies like dairy, or the WJ/AC duopoly.
