Ron Butler, a mortgage broker and commentator, shared his perspectives on central bank policies, interest rates, and Indigenous land claims in a series of posts on March 9, 2026.
In one post from March 9, Butler reflected on central banks’ handling of inflation during the Covid pandemic: “Here’s why
In 2021 all over the world Central Banks said the inflation caused by the Covid Pandemic was Transitory
Wow, was that a huge fucking mistake
They won’t make that mistake this time
Every Central Bank Boss is on high alert right now
Talking to each other
5/” He suggested that global financial leaders are currently more vigilant about inflation risks than they were in the aftermath of the pandemic.
In a follow-up post published minutes later, Butler cautioned readers about relying on variable-rate loans: “Therefore please don’t believe Variable is a guaranteed safe haven
The concept Prime Rate could go up in 2026 is very real now
If you can: grab a Fixed Rate below 4% do it now
Most important: I DON’T HAVE CLUE what happens in the War
All I can do is explain rate possibilities”. He noted uncertainty around future events but advised those able to secure fixed rates below four percent to consider doing so.
Later that day, Butler commented on developments related to Indigenous land claims in British Columbia: “Looks like Indigenous Land Claims never end in BC, the Province & Feds appear to have awarded the Musqueam Band (about 1700 people) all of Vancouver with a corner to go to the Squamish Band
Everyone involved states categorically this is NOTHING to do with having Senior Claim https://t.co/qE7xNmCaOp“.
Butler’s comments come amid ongoing discussions about monetary policy adjustments by central banks worldwide following lessons learned from earlier misjudgments regarding post-pandemic inflation. His remarks also touch upon continued negotiations and legal processes surrounding Indigenous land rights in Canada.
