(Bank of Canada rates will go up is how I read this.)
Even more alarming were the Bank of Canada’s three “core” measures of inflation, which attempt to smooth the influence of volatile prices such as oil. The average of the three increased to an annualized 5.3 per cent, a record high that was well outside the central bank’s comfort zone.
Premier Jason Kenney says the idea of advancing an Alberta Sovereignty Act to challenge contentious federal policies risks making the province a ‘laughingstock’ in Canada.
Kenney dismissed the proposal — a growing conservative talking point and key piece of United Conservative Party leadership candidate Danielle Smith’s campaign —

The higher the temperature rises on Canada’s inflation thermometer, the more Canadians of a certain age flash back to the 1970s and 80s, when annual inflation hit 12.5 per cent in 1981.
Back then, the Bank of Canada was forced to raise its benchmark interest rate to 21 per cent to get prices back under control, triggering the deepest economic contraction since the Great Depression.
