What a wretched excuse for a government this Liberal government is! It can't even keep the StatCan CANSIM database up, which is down again and does not permit one to analyze these inflation numbers. Even so, it is obvious once again that the switch to three new core measures as the operational guide with the 2016 renewal of the inflation-control agreement was a mistake. These measures show an average annual inflation rate of 1.6% for February, and have been registering this rate since November. The Bank's favourite, CPI-common, shows a ludicrously low 1.3% inflation rate, unchanged from January, and much lower than at any time during the 2008-09 recession or its aftermath. By contrast, the CPIXFET, the original operational guide of the Bank of Canada, probably showed an inflation rate of 2.0% in February, down from 2.1% in January. This is fighting inflation by moving the goalposts.
