I love cookies. Let's say you have 20 cookies that cost $1 each. Now 18 of those cookies are held by long-time owners, while the other 2 are bought and sold multiple times at escalating prices till a cookie costs $4. Only a small % of cookies, big impact. #Food4Thought #VanRE

I'm taking a couple weeks off before I continue on to the next adventure. Still in Ottawa, but not in journalism. Follow my great colleagues for all your news needs: @RodNickel_Rtrs @reutersLjungg @SchererSteve @fergalsmith2 @nia_eleri @ReutersMontreal @Mekeidan @amp6

It appears that Twitter is still around, so time for a personal update. Today is my last day at Reuters. It has been an amazing 15 years and I will miss working for the best news agency in the world. It has been a great adventure from Santiago to Ottawa... 1/?

My kids are still in bed. But I've been up since 5am. Send coffee.

Here’s to all the parents of kids who didn’t get the memo that they are supposed to sleep in today

Visited the Ottawa Food Bank warehouse for this story (I took the pix 📸). Not in the story, but worth noting that while demand is skyrocketing right now, donations are actually falling. Donate to your local food bank, if you can. 🫘🥫

'Perfect storm' swirls as Canadians face hot inflation, rising rates https://t.co/j9fGL0Pw80 #cdnpoli by @stuffaboutstuff and @RodNickel_Rtrs

I'm still trying to figure out if this weird dance video was actually made to promote this real estate listing or just happened to exist (and feature the home), so the agent rolled with it. 🧐 #OttawaRE https://t.co/4fK34FTRB2

@reutersLjungg If only others were so considerate...

Here's a snapshot of CPI-common as reported vs its most recent revisions. That revised line will change again in two weeks, when the September data is factored in.

The Bank of Canada is still going full steam ahead with rate hikes: "We will need additional information before we consider moving to a more finely balanced decision-by-decision approach," said Governor Tiff Macklem #cdnecon https://t.co/umtaSLpJxA

[Julie Gordon @stuffaboutstuff]

Also in today's speech: "We are reassessing CPI-common." The review of one of its three core measures of inflation follows this story I wrote with @fergalsmith2 https://t.co/btgE3YRO1P

@amp6 Don't even think of bringing a travel mug with two sips of coffee left in it.

[Julie Gordon @stuffaboutstuff]

The BoC said inflation was still "too high" but moving in the right direction. Now the (mostly unanswered) question is: soft landing or hard? All eyes will be on the business and consumer surveys out on Oct. 17. 📅🛒💸

Canada's inflation picture is starting to look better, but there's still a long way to go. #cdnecon #inflation

[Julie Gordon @stuffaboutstuff]

Both headline and core eased a bit in August, but Canadian food prices rose at their fastest pace in 41 years.
