Canada considers dropping COVID-19 vaccine mandate at border, making ArriveCAN optional: sources
The Canadian government is preparing to drop the COVID-19 vaccine mandate at the border as early as the end of September, government sources have told Global News.
In addition, sources also say that use of the controversial ArriveCAN app to provide vaccination information to border officials would become optional once the restrictions are lifted.
As Kamil Karamali reports, the plan still needs to be finalized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau before the change can be made official. But the lifting of these restrictions would likely provide additional relief to many travellers who have faced hurdles entering Canada, including those who haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine.

A day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly criticized Canada over its decision to allow a Canadian company to return turbines from a Russian pipeline that supplies natural gas to Germany, the Ukrainian World Congress says it plans to sue Canada over the decision.
“This was a very difficult decision, but we have seen Russia consistently try to weaponize energy as a way of creating division among the allies, of undermining the general population’s support for this essential effort in Ukraine that governments support,” Trudeau told reporters in Kingston, Ont. Wednesday.

Canada's inflation rates hold steady in October as economists expect another rate hike
Some better than expected news today about the cost of living in Canada — despite the high price of gasoline, inflation is holding steady in October and some grocery prices began to level out.
Economists were expecting worse, but inflation still remains hot at 6.9 per cent for the second month in a row.
Some items are seeing price increases due to exacerbating factors. Lettuce rose over 30 per cent during the month of October, partially due to a key California region being hit with diseased crops in a growing season already impacted by drought and extreme heat.
With inflation still elevated, money markets expect yet another rate hike from the Bank of Canada in December.
