Canada's Inflation Rate Eases to 2.3% in March Amid Falling Gasoline and Travel Costs

Canada’s annual inflation rate slowed to 2.3% in March, down from 2.6% in February, according to Statistics Canada. The decline was largely driven by falling gasoline prices and lower travel costs, including a drop in airfares. The agency also noted a decline in cross-border travel, attributing it to Canadian concerns over tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. This reduced travel demand has contributed to lower airfare costs. The latest inflation data comes just ahead of the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision, scheduled for Wednesday.

Alberta's Smith resists calls from NDP to pull lawyers from health probe process

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says hiring lawyers to funnel requests from the auditor general isn't meant to obstruct an investigation into multimillion-dollar health contracts- it's about helping get to the truth. The government has instructed Alberta Health public servants to contact a lawyer to co-ordinate if auditor general Doug Wylie requests an interview as part of his probe. The NDP's leader in the legislature, Christina Gray, says the policy suggests a coverup is afoot, and is challenging the premier to lift what the NDP calls a ``gag order.'' Smith says the NDP is twist
