Canada’s annual inflation rate fell to 1.8 percent in February from 2.3 percent in January, according to a new Statistics Canada report.
The slowdown was “largely driven” by a monthly rise in prices in February of last year at the end of a two-month GST holiday introduced by the Liberal government of then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to StatCan’s March 16 report.
