Simons expects core CPI rose 0.4% and that, within that, goods prices declined 0.2% while services rose 0.6% . The CPI report is widely expected to show that used car prices are falling, but rents and shelter continued to rise.

☆ XR protester who stuck himself to a bank is spared jail – as long as he doesn't take glue outside his house

Vic Brice won't be allowed to take glue outside his home while he serves 12 months of probation. Judge William Jackson said Brice's actions came from "sincere concern" for the planet. He was given a conditional discharge with 12 months of probation by Provincial Court Judge William Jackson. The conditions of Brice's parole included keeping the peace, 40 hours of community service and not attending the bank branch in Nanaimo. I do not believe that a conditional discharge in this particular set of facts with this particular accused would undermine public confidence in the administration of law."
