Food inflation is coming, but not for the reason most people assume. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois breaks down a quiet, unwritten pricing rule grocers follow every year, and why the months right before and after it hit the hardest at checkout.

Tariffs on booze are reshaping more than the liquor aisle. Charlebois explains why a well known import brewer is eyeing a move south, what that could mean for a Canadian bottling plant, and why "made in Canada" on a label is getting complicated fast.

Diesel prices are climbing up to two fifty a litre in places, and that number reaches further than the gas pump. Charlebois connects it directly to the cost of getting food across the country, and what that means for grocery prices this spring.

Topics: food inflation, grocery prices, tariffs, diesel prices, supply chain
