Do you fear that these public service cuts will directly impact you? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. And speaking of the Canadian economy, did you hear that inflation rose to 1.9 percent in the month of August? We examine the broader details with Pedro Antunes, a Chief Economist with the Conference Board of Canada.
