This is the best summary I could come up with:
Canada’s inflation rate jumped higher last month, to an annual pace of four per cent, mostly because of an increase in gasoline prices.
Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the inflation rate ticked higher by 0.7 percentage points, in large part because gasoline prices increased on an annual basis for the first time since January.
Outside of gasoline, prices for other essentials like food and shelter continued to increase.
There was one source of comparable relief however, from an unexpected place: the grocery aisle.
The price of food purchased from stores increased by 6.9 per cent in the past year.
In August specifically, the price of food actually declined by 0.4 per cent from July’s level.
