Quick Glance: Canadian Inflation Rises Due to Increase in Gasoline Prices

Canadian consumer prices saw a slight increase, primarily due to higher gasoline prices. Core metrics indicated further progress in disinflation, prompting the central bank to prepare for a shift to looser monetary policy as early as June or July.

In March, the consumer price index rose by 2.9% compared to the previous year, up from the 2.8% reported a month earlier. Excluding gasoline, the index slowed to 2.8% from the previous year, in contrast to February's 2.9%.

However, indications of underlying price pressures decreased. The averages of the Bank of Canada's two core measures decreased to an annual rate of 2.95%, weaker than anticipated. Following the release, yields on two-year Canadian government bonds dropped by approximately 10 basis points to 4.18%.

The March inflation data suggest that the decline in core metrics this year is not temporary. Bank of Canada officials are now waiting to be convinced that the path to the 2% target can be sustained before making adjustments to monetary policy.

China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau

reut.rs/49NfyOJ

Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.

Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.

Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.

Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Only six pure gold bracelets worth over $65,000 have been recovered from the $14.77 million gold heist that took place last year.

The perpetrators are believed to have melted down and sold the stolen gold to acquire illegal firearms for a smuggling operation, as stated by Peel Regional Police Detective Sgt. Michael Mavity.

Additionally, the police have seized $312,000 in cash, suspected to be profits made by the suspects after selling the gold.

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Canadian Jacob Flickinger, 33, a military veteran from Quebec, was among seven aid workers killed in Gaza, leaving behind a partner and a one-year-old son.

Flickinger and friend Duguay, both affected by PTSD after Afghanistan, joined World Central Kitchen to aid in crisis zones.

The organization planned to deliver food aid by sea to Gaza due to strict rules on truck aid by Israel. Flickinger was on-site when hit by an Israeli airstrike.

The deaths have sparked international reactions, with Canada calling for a full investigation. World Central Kitchen founders urge Israel to support humanitarian aid and ensure safety of aid workers.

An orca calf stranded in a Canadian lagoon will be airlifted out to reunite with pod

abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/orca-calf-stranded-canadian-lagoon-airlifted-reunite-pod-108833250

Quick Glance: Rescue Efforts for Stranded Orca Calf in Remote Lagoon

A rescue team is dedicated to saving an orphaned orca calf that has been stuck for almost two weeks in a remote lagoon on Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada.

The calf became stranded in the Zeballos lagoon after its mother got stuck on a sandbar in the shallow waters of the lagoon and passed away on March 23. Authorities are vigilantly observing the calf and devising a strategic plan to relocate the animal and reunite it with its family group.

Various methods have been tested to encourage the calf to leave the lagoon independently, including playing sounds of other orcas. The rescue operation is scheduled to be executed within the upcoming week in hopes of reuniting the calf with its relatives.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are present in all the world’s oceans and are known for their highly social behavior. They live in family pods of up to 20 or more whales. Calves typically remain with their mothers during the first two years of life.
