The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual pace of 4.8 per cent in December, as food and energy led to the cost of living going up at its fastest rate since 1991.
Statistics Canada reported Wednesday that grocery prices increased by 5.7 per cent, the biggest annual gain since 2011.
The increase in the inflation rate was in line with expectations. For comparison purposes, the United States currently has an inflation rate of seven per cent, its highest since 1982.

COVID-19 detected for first time in Ontario wildlife
Samples taken from five free-ranging white-tailed deer in southwestern Ontario have tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first time the virus has been detected in the province’s wildlife.
In an email to CTV News Toronto, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry said the samples were taken in November by way of the ministry’s chronic wasting disease surveillance program.
While many Americans celebrated the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believed legendary figures like MLK and President Abraham Lincoln have “tears in their eyes” thanks to the GOP and even some of their own members standing in the way of voter reform.
My official statement on today’s vote for election reform.
This bill gives taxpayer funding to campaigns, mandates ballot harvesting, and abolishes voter-ID laws.

In response to Premier Legault’s tax on the unvaxxed, several Montreal businesses are planning a ‘no restrictions, no passport, no QR-code’ protest for Sunday, January 30.
During the protest, the participating businesses plan to flout all lockdown rules. That means there will be no checking people’s papers, no scanning QR-codes, no capacity limits, no social distancing. None of that.
The Biden-Harris administration is trapped inside a hostile media spotlight, a victim of their own incompetence. They’re like a cornered animal – desperate for a way out, but clearly willing to settle for anything that would shift the public focus off of their ever-growing list of foibles. They’re a consistent bunch, that much is true. They consistently lurch from one self-inflicted crisis to another, while we pay the price for their mistakes.
For Canadians falling outside its parameters, the pace by which Canada’s “woke revolution” is progressing should be of major concern.
For all the liberal left’s talk of social equality, they refuse to speak of the “flip-side” to the equation. Meanwhile, media refuse to articulate the speed at which the agenda is advancing.
The United Nations and George Soros funded globalist organizations, are providing cash to help migrants work their way up through South America, Central America, and Mexico on their way to the United States.
A new Canadian law called C-4 outlaws so-called “conversion therapy,” which is defined in the law as any counseling or advising against transgender or nonbinary identity or non-heterosexual sexuality — even if the young person or adult requests it.
Lemon said, “I’ve gotten criticized for saying we should stop listening to the people and they should not be part of polite society.”
He continued, “The unvaccinated people in the U.S. are key to the reason that coronavirus, the variants are emerging, And that the reason I’m looking at the stats from the CDC and the reason why it’s replicating and mutating. It’s because of unvaccinated people who are doing their own research online. I can’t do my own research better than experts who devoted their lives to medical and scientific research.”

Beijing is fueling the fentanyl crisis in Canada and the United States through a sophisticated web involving drug cartels, loan sharks, and foreign casinos, said investigative journalist and author Sam Cooper.
Scrambled Egg Breakfast Muffins
A Red Deer, Alta., restaurant was ordered to close after an investigation found staff were not asking for proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test and instead accepting dog photos from customers to dine inside, Alberta Health Services said.
The Canadian response to COVID-19 has been confusing, contradictory, heavy-handed and ultimately, ineffective at ending this pandemic. What started off as “14 days to flatten to curve,” has turned into two years of endless lockdowns and moving goalposts. But is there an alternative?
Shutting down schools and reducing social interaction and activity for young people is driving higher rates of childhood obesity, and obesity is linked to more negative Covid outcomes.

Top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson began his Monday monologue with an assessment of how the same major media outlets he says covered and shilled for then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden have since turned on him.
This month, college students across America are experiencing reversions to online learning and COVID-19 vaccine or booster mandates. But they are also dealing with surveillance testing and systems in place on campus.
The president’s advisers are looking at a variety of ways for him to enrage more with Americans, officials said.
The FBI, Joe Biden, and willful blindness about Islamic terror.
“We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, uh, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, uh, but we’re continuing to work to find motive and, and we will continue on that path.”
That was Matt DeSarno, FBI special agent in charge, after the hostage incident in Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday. It was bizarre statement, as Robert Spencer noted, because the hostage-taker’s demands revolved around imprisoned jihadist Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “Lady al Qaeda.” The FBI knew that but was “continuing to work to find motive.” It was as though the Great Brinks Robbery of 1950 left the FBI gasping in bewilderment.
For the leaders and followers of the trans movement, the photo accompanying Gabriel Mac’s article “I Didn’t Need a Penis to Be a Man. But I Needed One to Be Me” is a political statement concerning equality of the sexes. The ideal human being is neither sex.
He’s an arrogant and entitled plonker. He’s also innocent until proven guilty.
‘With the queen’s approval and agreement’, read Buckingham Palace’s official statement, ‘the Duke of York’s military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the queen’. And with that, Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal garb. All the titles, including His Royal Highness, were gone and, according to the statement, never to return.
