Amid growing criticism, Macklem says Bank of Canada's independence not under threat - BNN Bloomberg​As criticism piles on from politicians, pundits and interest groups, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem says he's felt no threat to the institution's independence.

Gov should be working on directly addressing food and energy inflation.
