BREAKING: Lower gas prices slow annual inflation rate to Bank of Canada's 2 per cent bull's-eye

The annual inflation number for June hit the Bank of Canada's ideal target as it came down from 2.4 per cent in May, Statistics Canada said Friday in a new report. It marked the first price deceleration after four straight months of year-over-year increases.The neutral position of two per cent -- right at the mid-point of the Bank of Canada's range of one to three per cent -- doesn't put immediate pressure on governor Stephen Poloz to adjust his key interest rate.

Energy prices fell in every province, with Alberta easily seeing the largest decrease compared to a year earlier. Consumers also shelled out more in June for auto insurance, mortgage borrowing costs, vehicle purchases and rent.

I call BS

What lower gas prices?

But I thought we were all supposed to be bankrupt from all the gas price increases from the carbon tax and all companies would shutdown and the economy would collapse and we would all have no food I’m very confused

The carbon tax didn't bankrupt the Country? Do we still have the lowest unemployment rate in 40 years?

TrudeauMustGo

LPC will change that with a few more obvious and not so obvious increases if they win in October.

Gas is up 25% from the fall

Thx oil/gas sector.

Trudeau on Trump tweets: 'That is not how we do things in Canada'U.S. President Donald Trump's tweets telling four female congresswomen of colour to 'go back' to where they came from are 'not how we do things in Canada,' Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says. So is JustinTrudeau going to continue to beg for POTUS help to talk to the Chinese...or is Justin going to actually do the job himself? Fortunately for Canadians polls show you will be defeated in next election I do not identify with any particular party; while trying to support whoever is in power at the time. I appreciate Trudeau relaying a comment of disapproval in this regard; however, I would sincerely appreciate Trudeau clarifying all the scandals he's been wiggling his toes in.
