Canada's annual inflation rate edged up to 2.9 per cent in May from 2.7 per cent the previous month, Statistics Canada said on Tuesday. The increase was largely due to higher prices for services, some of them typical of the season. Cellular services, rent, travel tours and air transportation saw faster price growth, according to the data agency. Grocery prices also increased slightly to 1.5 per cent year-over-year after a 1.4 per cent increase in April, marking the first increase since June 2023. Higher prices for fresh vegetables, meat (particularly fresh or frozen beef), fresh fruit and non-alcoholic beverages drove May food inflation up on a monthly basis.

Environment Canada meteorologist Ali Jalali said Monday wind is expected to lightly blow northwest on Monday, so he doesn't expect the wind will help blow the fire closer toward Churchill Falls. "We don't expect any precipitation for the next 24, 48 hours for that area," Jalali told CBC News on Monday morning. An evacuation order was issued last week for the power-generating town of Churchill Falls, forcing several hundreds of people to leave the central Labrador community. A skeleton crew remained behind in Churchill Falls to maintain the massive hydroelectric plant, which supplies energy to Newfoundland and Labrador as well as Quebec. Provincial forest fire duty officer Mark Lawlor said Churchill Falls is safe for the moment and the fire — which is about seven kilometres from the town — is still contained to the south side of Churchill River.
