We don't have a congress in Canada, so it would be impossible.

Oh he was talking about America on an article about Canada in a Canadian community. Because he doesn’t read articles, just posts uninformed hot takes that he expects everyone to agree with.

I did the same thing, but it's because we're all seeing the same things as far as cost increases and governments sitting on their hands.

Couldn't your parliament enact such price caps?

Yes they absolutely could.
