“Canadian consumer price inflation jumped to a new three-decade high in February, cementing expectations the Bank of Canada will aggressively hike interest rates in coming months to rein in price pressures. Annual inflation was 5.7 per cent last month, up from 5.1 per cent in January, Statistics Canada reported Wednesday in Ottawa. That’s the highest since August 1991 and exceeds the median estimate of 5.5 per cent in a Bloomberg survey of economists.”
