Claim 1: “The consumer-price index rose 0.5% in July, bringing the annual inflation rate to 3%, Statistics Canada says”
DISPUTED
The evidence provided contains contradictory reports from Statistics Canada for July. One source states the inflation rate rose to 3% in July, while another source explicitly states the annual inflation rate slowed to 2.5% in July. Because these are conflicting reports of the same metric for the same month, the claim is disputed.
