You may be surprised at how it does to the high side. I think Canada has been having a run at inflation, too, hasn’t it? So, if they report out in current fiat rather than a constant measure, it will be high.

Yes inflation is picking up again.

Hasn’t it been roaring along already. Or is it moving from a stately 5–7% up to 10%? The PM seems to be out to lunch as far as finances go and Freeland is just another motherWEFers trying to bring in the Great Reset.

No I think last cpi report came in at 2% and pce was 2.6% but both were above expectations.

Compared to what we have been pounded with, down here, 2% or 2.6% would be a balmy Sunday picnic. Are these numbers from the state or are they from some fairly objective organization? I wouldn’t trust the state, as it doing the same here, too. Official and observed price levels are radically different.

OK, so what is your observed rate of price changes? Much higher?

Yes. Not accelerating at the rate it was a couple years ago but definitely more than 2-3%
