In an attempt to link rising living costs with climate change, the Canadian government explored renaming inflation as “heat-flation,” documents reveal.
Blacklock’s Reporter said focus groups rejected the idea, showing little support for the term.
A report from the Privy Council Office dated April 24 indicated that in-house research was conducted on the concepts of “climate-flation” and “heat-flation” to see if Canadians would connect with the terms.
According to the report, Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views, none of the participants had previously heard of the phrases.
