Blog addition for those that like doing their research

Now we have a Councilor making comments regarding the increase in inflation to justify utility rate increases.
I felt it would be relevant to give my readers the opportunity to see what the rate of inflation is. So on the right hand side of my blog under Interesting blogs and Websites I have provided the link to Stats Canada CPI tracker.

For Canada has a whole the rate of Inflation was 2.0% in April up a touch from 1.9% in March.
Looking at Alberta it was 0.8% in April down from 1.7% in March.

Inflation rate for Alberta

Interesting information today from the Canadian Government on the rate of inflation for November Alberta is down to 0.1%
That bodes well for the residential taxpayer that is anticipating tax increases to keep in line with the rate of inflation.
