please get your fact accurate first! The Anti Inflation Act was 1975-1978 to mitigate the inflation mainly caused by global oil price increase. It was introduced and executed by Pierre Trudeau. Although it did control price and wage hikes to some reasonable effect, the net effect was persistent inflation and growth stagnation! Major or large corporations left Canada, investments dwindled, black market smuggled goods across boarder! Canadas economy had never fully recovered!
