Inflation accelerates as higher airfares, vegetable prices offset cheaper gasCanada's annual inflation rate accelerated to two per cent last month as higher costs for airfares and fresh vegetables offset cheaper prices at the pump, Statistics Canada said Friday. Could not have anything to do with a Carbon Tax could it? Food prices are way out of control. Basic necessities should be kept under control. Our weak Canadian dollar certainly contributed to this. We are screwed if the US continues to raise interest rates.

France's Macron tries to ease popular anger over gas pricesFrench President Emmanuel Macron is trying to defuse protests over rising fuel taxes by explaining his plans to wean the country off fossil fuels and promising to shift out of cheap nuclear energy more slowly. DrMichaelBonner The anger is NOT only about gas prices but a heap of unacceptable rises in taxes, the freezing od retirement pensions, lavish unjustified spending, etc. And the inability of the governement so far to pay attention to rising objections...He's been elected by default, not fit 4 job Trudy, french version! Its not going to work. This guy had a fellow supposedly on government payroll as a personal security in his inner circle living like a literal prince, Macron seemingly used to send him out to dress up as riot police to attack innocent students & they filmed it? Name: Benalla.
