Show Notes

StatCan’s Consumer Price Index tells us a lot about the economy… if you know what to look for.  

Guy Gellatly, Chief Economic Advisor at StatCan, joins us at the mic to break down the CPI and answer our questions about the economy. What’s the ideal inflation rate? Is no inflation the best kind of inflation? And what is a deflationary spiral?
