On this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast we break down the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and its ramifications for the Bank of Canada's (BOC) upcoming monetary policy decisions. With the annual inflation rate now at 2.9% and core inflation seeing its first rise in months, we examine the challenges the BOC faces in balancing rate adjustments against a backdrop of a weak economy and high consumer debt.

We'll also explore the varying performance of major Canadian grocery chains, contrasting Empire's cautious outlook with Loblaw's robust growth, and discuss strategic moves in the retail sector. Additionally, we go over the recent earnings release of two of the major Canadian cannabis producers in Canopy and Aurora. We finish the episode by talking about Winnebago’s decline in sales and what it means for the RV industry.

Tickers of Stocks & ETF discussed: ACB.TO, WEED.TO, EMP-A.TO, WGO
