Target is a flexible control range of 1%–3% to actively seek maximum sustainable employment btw. Curious!
Interesting that Tiff just said "Inflation is too high" at 3% in the first Q
And in the 2nd Q, he said he is not too worried about immediate inflation effect of counter tariff as they mostly focus on intermediate goods.
[yes, i have a graph to tell you that]

Seeing more and more people refer to the national budget balance, revenue position, etc. as "The fisk".
Gotta categorically, unequivocally and relentlessly nip that Sorkinian cringe in the bud.

This is incredible, and well worth two minutes of your time.
The A's just did one of the coolest things I've seen in their broadcast: Just unfiltered audio of the live director calling a Lawrence Butler plate appearance...that went about as well as they could have hoped for.

Most of it is just auditing and merging work that has been done previously. But one change goes a little deeper, it repairs broken labels that StatCan sends down. And emits a warning to notify the user that labels were changed. And it has a surprisingly large blast radius...
Current status: Implementing a downstream workaround in the cansim package so that data columns are accessible without users having to go to monkey-patch special characters into strings.
Tired of responding to package users running into this. But really, StatCan should fix this on their end.
