Bank of Canada Expected To Hit Market With Two More Rate Hikes: BMO (betterdwelling.com)

The Bank of Canada (BoC) surprised the market with a rate hike last week, and BMO doesn’t think it was the last one. Canada’s economy is running so hot, the market now expects at least two more rate hikes. It’ll almost certainly lead to higher mortgage rates, which will throttle demand for housing at these prices. That’s not just a coincidence.

If I recall correctly, BoC doesn't really have any other tool in their portfolio to do anything else. We need smarter politicians.
