I love cookies. Let's say you have 20 cookies that cost $1 each. Now 18 of those cookies are held by long-time owners, while the other 2 are bought and sold multiple times at escalating prices till a cookie costs $4. Only a small % of cookies, big impact. #Food4Thought #VanRE

@reutersLjungg We were only 25 minutes late… 😂

I'm taking a couple weeks off before I continue on to the next adventure. Still in Ottawa, but not in journalism. Follow my great colleagues for all your news needs: @RodNickel_Rtrs @reutersLjungg @SchererSteve @fergalsmith2 @nia_eleri @ReutersMontreal @Mekeidan @amp6

It appears that Twitter is still around, so time for a personal update. Today is my last day at Reuters. It has been an amazing 15 years and I will miss working for the best news agency in the world. It has been a great adventure from Santiago to Ottawa... 1/?

My kids are still in bed. But I've been up since 5am. Send coffee.

And here I thought this was just an urban legend... cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

Visited the Ottawa Food Bank warehouse for this story (I took the pix 📸). Not in the story, but worth noting that while demand is skyrocketing right now, donations are actually falling. Donate to your local food bank, if you can. 🫘🥫

I'm still trying to figure out if this weird dance video was actually made to promote this real estate listing or just happened to exist (and feature the home), so the agent rolled with it. 🧐 #OttawaRE youtube.com/watch?v=i8KB-7…

@reutersLjungg If only others were so considerate...

That is why I have a separate account for tweeting sports

@nojoudalmallees Rein in galloping inflation was a personal fave 🎠

As a sequel to my complaint about needing more ways to describe high inflation, I'm also getting sick of my characterizations of the BoC's efforts. Bank of Canada tries to tame high inflation/cool high inflation/combat high inflation/fight high inflation... gah.

Canada posts 'tepid' job rebound, big rate hike still in cards #cdnpoli by @stuffaboutstuff reuters.com/markets/canada…

Here's a snapshot of CPI-common as reported vs its most recent revisions. That revised line will change again in two weeks, when the September data is factored in.

Also in today's speech: "We are reassessing CPI-common." The review of one of its three core measures of inflation follows this story I wrote with @fergalsmith2 reuters.com/markets/us/inv…

The Bank of Canada is still going full steam ahead with rate hikes: "We will need additional information before we consider moving to a more finely balanced decision-by-decision approach," said Governor Tiff Macklem #cdnecon reuters.com/markets/us/ban…

Should have started with that second word. 🙌🧠 Wordle 469 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@amp6 Goes to Statscan website...

how much of gdp is spent replacing lost lip balm?

@amp6 Don't even think of bringing a travel mug with two sips of coffee left in it.

Ok but can I take a bottle of water through security?

The BoC said inflation was still "too high" but moving in the right direction. Now the (mostly unanswered) question is: soft landing or hard? All eyes will be on the business and consumer surveys out on Oct. 17. 📅🛒💸 reuters.com/markets/us/ban…

Both headline and core eased a bit in August, but Canadian food prices rose at their fastest pace in 41 years. reuters.com/markets/us/can….

Canada's inflation picture is starting to look better, but there's still a long way to go. #cdnecon #inflation
