Canada Inflation Ticks Up to 2.9% on Higher Gas Prices: Canadian consumer prices reaccelerated slightly as expected due to higher gasoline prices ...
trib.al/VxDKxw2
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.

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.
