The inflation is fueled by short supply rather than excess demand.

I'm no economist but if our current supplies cannot even meet the baseline demand, rising rate does little to nothing but hurt the average Canadian.

The average Canadian already have nothing left to "cut" on their spending, people gotta eat and shelter. This is the baseline demand. Unless the goal is to make people homeless and starve, without increasing supply and invest in productive investments, the inflation will not end.
