@PierrePoilievre's dishonest and shameful 'blame it all on Trudeau' campaign for things the PM does not control rages on. In fact, the PM does not control #foodpricing, #fueloilpricing, #rentpricing, #mortgagepaymentpricing or #interestrates in Canada.
IMO @PierrePoilievre 's dishonourable rhetoric on rising food, gas, oil prices, interest rates & rents is evidence of intent to deceive.
Why doesn't the media challenge him to provide alternative proposals instead of publishing his attacks on Trudeau for things he can't control?

@PierrePoilievre knows that #groceryprices result from factors that include yields, weather, wildfires, drought, global supply chain problems and grocery chain price gouging, etc. Implying otherwise is #misinformation.
The Democratic Alliance in Bela-Bela says the price of basic food is out of control coupled with monthly price increases in fuel and high electricity costs, and many residents can no longer stay afloat.#FoodPrices NM 
This as the party in Bela Bela launched a campaign against high #FoodPrices earlier today.NM
DA Political Head for Bela-Bela, Desiree Van Der Walt says during the national launch of the campaign, the party made several proposals to President Cyril Ramaphosa, including cutting unnecessary fuel taxes and levies to reduce the cost of food transport.#FoodPrices NM
Core #CPI (excluding those volatile #food and #energy components) came in at 0.6% month-over-month and rose 6.0% year-over-year.
Meanwhile, headline #CPI data printed at a very strong 1.0% month-over-month and came in at 8.6% year-over-year, spiking higher on #shelter, #gas and food costs.
These persistently outsized gains in #inflation are clearly having an impact on business and #ConsumerConfidence. Also, the #Fed’s favored measure of inflation, core #PCE, increased 0.34% in April, bringing the year-over-year figure for the measure to 4.9%, as of that month.

Skyrocketing #global #foodprices, panicked low income and poorer fringes of the population facing severe #hardship, struggling #emergingmarkets and #SriLanka on the verge of #anarchy - all wrapped up in a massive #market sell-off: what is happening 🌎 ❓

#vegetableoil prices declined significantly (-5.7%) after hitting an all-time high in March under pressure from #palm, #sunflower and #soybean #oils.
In addition, #grain prices fell slightly (-0.4%), after also rising to all-time highs in March.

The previously mentioned Mikhail Podolyak was quick to use the #Bucha "massacre" to ask for more weapons

A few months ago, #markets expected U.S. #inflation to peak by mid-2022 at around 7% to 8% at the headline level and then anticipated that generalized #price gains would decline into year end, closing the year around 4%.
However, the tragic war now unfolding with Russia’s attack upon Ukraine has not only sent #energy prices skyrocketing but it has led to much greater uncertainty over #economic growth and #MonetaryPolicy reaction functions, in Europe and indeed around the world.
Some perspectives on potential for disruptions in food exports in lieu of the #Covid_19 crisis from @JacobShap's excellent newsletter...While most prices have dropped initially it is something to keep an eye on..#GlobalTrends #FoodScarcity #AGs #FoodPrices #Inflation
Here is the full overview from the FAO report Jacob quoted - get the FAO repot here: fao.org/3/ca8388en/CA8…
Some more perspectives on the current developments in agricultural #commodities..Supplies ample, demand slack but supply chain disruptions are a real risk & l. term supply may be affected by constraints on labour pool if the crisis is prolonged & hits key global 'breadbaskets'..
