Inflation hits Bank of Canada's two per cent target in August
Inflation slowed to 2.0 percent in August from 2.5 percent in July, with Thunder Bay at 1.7 percent. Lower gasoline and apparel prices helped, as economists say inflation is no longer a threat to growth and rate cuts may accelerate. Core measures eased slightly and the jobless rate rose to 6.6 percent, signaling weaker economy ahead.
