Obviously lying about inflation once again. Who needs silly useless items like food and energy?

In reply to richard. You’re the few from your generation speaking up. The beef with young people vs seniors is that those who owned homes since the 80s are now millionaires on paper while wages are less than 10% of those gains in terms of home prices.

the boc and other central banks have been manipulating much of their data, but especially inflation for as long as i’ve been alive and i’m 71. in the 1970’s when trade unions were all getting cola clauses in their contracts and inflation was raging the central banks really screwed the working people of this country and i would argue many others by doing this. do any normal people in this country believe their numbers today or in the past. i have bought many essential things recently that have gone up more than 50%. do any canadians think that our inflation rate is substantially smaller than the US. especially when our dollar is in the toilet. the boc does not have your interests at heart.

I don’t see how “seasonally adjusting” the core inflation number would result in it being more than one percent lower than the non-SA core inflation number

BOC is trying really, really hard not to pop the massive housing bubble, I’m guessing. Because that would surely cause a financial crisis.

It is clear that they are hiding something from us as usual.
