Canada doesn't massage its inflation statistics to exclude inflation (the way the Yanks do) (g)

Annual inflation rate up 3.9 per cent in May

Canada's annual rate of inflation rose 3.9 per cent in May, driven higher again by energy prices and marking the largest
increase in nearly a decade, Statistics Canada said Friday.

Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy sectors, rose 2 per cent.

Both numbers come in higher than economists had expected. Forecasts had called for the consumer price index — a broad
measure of inflation — for 3.3 per cent over all. The core rate was expected to rise by 2 per cent for the month.

More to come.
