Paul Krugman argues that the Fed didn't cause the housing bubble and "too big to fail" isn't responsible for the financial crisis.
Assuming Canada doesn't have a housing bubble, it would also invalidate Ben Bernanke's argument that the housing bubble was caused by a global savings glut. Of course, if the U.S. (and global) housing bubble was caused by a combination of factors, then low interest rates and high global savings could be necessary but not sufficient causes of the bubble.
