On Wednesday, the S&P 500 was up 0.5% and Toronto was up 0.4%.

Aurora Cannabis was up 3.7%. I suspect there is lots more bad news to come from this company. Time will tell.

CRH Medical was up 4.4%.

Statistics Canada released the latest inflation figures which are around 2.0%. They often get accused of excluding volatile items like food and gasoline. That is completely false. They provide figures with and without the volatile items. Users can choose which to focus on. They also provide tons of detail around the various components in their “basket”.  I certainly don’t think their numbers are perfect by any means. But I don’t have any time for those who believe in conspiracy theories and government manipulation around these numbers.
