Unfortunately I know him not. All I see is the same pedigree that you see.

The BofC is in a box right now along with a lot of other countries -- they would like to be able to raise their own domestic rates to inhibit inflation, but they are all snookered -- if they do raise, they will only make themselves that much more attractive to the carry trade and drive their own currencies even higher, adding to the demand destruction of their long term export capabilities.

It's a lose-lose situation for most, and it explains why gold is inexorably rising against all their currencies. Global interest rates are too low, and the US is the keystone to that.

Small wonder then that for all the former rah-rah about global growth driven by US consumption a while back, now that the consequences are becoming apparent, not many are very happy at what the US glutton has wrought upon them
