Global National: March 19, 2024 | Why did Canada's inflation rate slow to 2.8%?

Inflation took a dip to 2.8 per cent in February, marking the first time in three years it has stayed within the Bank of Canada's target range for two consecutive months. Anne Gaviola explains what's behind it, and what it could mean for interest rates and Canada's cost of living. People have begun paying their last respects to former prime minister Brian Mulroney, who is lying in state in Ottawa ahead of his state funeral. Mackenzie Gray speaks with Canadians about why they wanted to pay tribute. The federal government launched a temporary visa program in January for Canadians who want to bring over loved ones from Gaza. But as Heather Yourex-West explains, the process has been frustrating for one Calgary man trying to save his sister and her four young children. As British Columbia deals with the dual threat of a prolonged drought and record-breaking temperatures, the province is bracing for what could be another destructive wildfire season. As Neetu Garcha reports, officials are warning people earlier than ever. Inuits and the Innu Nation are joining forces by pressuring the federal government to scrap a controversial agreement giving Indigenous rights to 6,000 people in south and central Labrador. Abigail Bimman explains why critics say the NunatuKavut are settlers who fraudulently claim to be Inuit and how that community is responding. Imperial Oil has shut down a major pipeline that supplies Winnipeg with gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. It was shuttered over “integrity concerns” and will be out of service for three months. As Marney Blunt reports, there does not appear to be a clear solution for Winnipeg to avoid a fuel shortage. Plus, TMZ and the U.K.'s Sun newspaper have published video of what's believed to be Prince William out shopping with Princess Kate, who has not been seen in public since Kensington Palace says she underwent major abdominal surgery in January. And as Crystal Goomansingh explains, this has only further fuelled the Royal rumour mill.
