Yes indeed, it is a holiday Monday in Canada, and following the laws of the land I do not plan to work either. I am writing this the previous week.
Victoria Day is one of the “big” holidays in Canada and most folks get the day off, but in Ontario merchants are fighting to be allowed to be open this day as well, I hope they don’t succeed, for the families of those who work in their stores.
Tuesday we will discuss the inflation numbers that came out on Friday. Interesting to see that Gas prices are actually dropping again (in Ottawa it is below 95 cents a litre), which may cause Inflation to do a few more loops again (but will it forestall the inevitable interest rate increases?).
Victoria Days over the years
- Avocado Toast, Victoria Day, Ransomware and #Moneytalk for 2017, a wild set of topics

- In 2010 Happy Victoria Day was another wonderful day off.
- For 2009 Random Thoughts: When Bloggers Meet When financial bloggers get together what do they talk about? Money, somewhat, but also some more esoteric discussions as well.

What I want to know is why the gas prices here (Victoria BC) have gone up 7% while the price of gasoline in Canadian dollars (UGA / FXC) has gone down 15%!!
Good question, read the post tomorrow to discuss that one further!
