Dog dead, 12 people displaced after fire destroys 2 townhomes in southeast Calgary

Statistics Canada is set to release its inflation figures for August this morning. A poll provided by Reuters shows economists expect the annual inflation rate rose to two per cent in August, from 1.7 per cent in July. Core inflation metrics, which are closely watched by the Bank of Canada because they strip out volatile categories, are forecast to remain around three per cent, the upper end of the central bank’s target range.
