A weak Canadian dollar is being blamed as a key culprit behind sticky inflation at the grocery store, a trend one expert says he expects to persist heading into the holidays. While overall inflation has moderated in recent months, settling back at the Bank of Canada’s two per cent target in October, consumers are once again feeling the pinch on groceries. The annual cost of food bought from the store rose 2.7 per cent annually last month, accelerating from a rate of 2.3 per cent in September. October marked the third consecutive month grocery prices outpaced the rest of the consumer basket tracked by Statistics Canada. Driving those costs higher in October were more expensive fresh vegetables and fruit, which rose at annual rates of 7.3 per cent and 7.6 per cent, respectively. Pain at the grocery store is nothing new for Canadians. As Canada grappled with decades-high inflation over the past few years, grocery prices were among the largest contributors. Ipsos polling conducted exclusively for Global News in late August found that 43 per cent of Canadians are worried they might not have enough money to feed their families. Prices on food bought from stores rose over 20 per cent over the three years between July 2021 and June 2024, according to StatCan. That rapid rise helps to explain why Canadians are still feeling “sticker shock” at the grocery store, explains personal finance expert Rubina Ahmed-Haq. “When we go to the grocery store, we still have recent memory of what avocados cost, what a loaf of bread costs, what a carton of eggs costs,” she says. “It’s still something that we’re getting used to, that prices are here to stay at this level. They just aren’t increasing as aggressively year-over-year.” The acute pain of food inflation in recent years is one of the justifications Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cited this week in announcing the Liberal proposal for a two-month GST/HST “holiday” applying to many common grocery items. Sal Guatieri, senior economist and director at BMO Capital Markets, tells Global News that, in contrast to the global bout of inflation from the past few years, today’s price jumps at the grocery store are not necessarily universal. In Canada, while grocery inflation was up 2.7 per cent in October, the latest figures from the United States show food prices were up just 1.1 per cent annually. Guatieri says there’s a few reasons why food inflation looks different on either side of the border, but the most glaring perhaps is the weak Canadian dollar and surging strength of the United States’ greenback. The loonie fell below the 71-cent mark compared to the U.S. dollar to start this week, marking a four-year low before recovering somewhat. Guatieri says this differential is felt particularly hard at grocery stores in Canada, particularly in the colder weather seasons when much of the fresh food Canadians eat is imported from the U.S. Import prices for food have been growing “quite strongly,” Guatieri says, rising 14 per cent in the past year. Canadians are likely feeling the compounding effect of a weak loonie and drought earlier in the year on beef prices, he says, with the latter reducing cattle stocks and limiting supplies of beef coming from south of the border. Guatieri says consumers can also expect prices to rise a bit sharper heading into the end of the year, particularly ahead of the holiday season when Canadians are buying and eating more food than usual. “They celebrate more, certainly with friends and family. And so the demand for food products, especially at the grocery store, tends to go up,” he says. While the Canadian dollar has been flailing against its American counterpart for well over a year, much of the loonie’s weakness can be traced to the results of the U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump’s looming second administration comes with threats of blanket tariffs on trading partners and other economic policies aimed at stimulating growth in the U.S. While it remains to be seen what campaign promises will become policy when he assumes office in January, Guatieri says that the general risks of a Trump presidency lean more towards higher inflation. That’s important for the U.S. Federal Reserve, which looks at where inflation is heading as it sets its benchmark interest rates. Expectations that the Fed might not cut as much as previously expected are important for setting currency exchange rates — the differential between the Bank of Canada’s policy rate and its counterpart in the U.S. affects the value of the loonie. With the Bank of Canada getting a headstart on the Fed in its rate-cut cycle, the two central banks’ policy rates stand at a wide differential, discouraging investors from piling into the loonie and instead pushing them to relative safety in the U.S. dollar. BMO notes that part of the loonie’s recovery this week came from reined-in expectations for the Bank of Canada’s own pace of rate cuts, which came from an upside surprise to inflation and some reaction to the Liberal stimulus proposals. But Guatieri says that a Trump presidency is still likely to be bad news for the Canadian dollar. “That does suggest the Canadian dollar could be on the defensive for quite some time,” he says. Ahmed-Haq says there are a few strategies Canadians ought to employ or revisit when they head to the grocery store, even if price hikes aren’t in the double-digits anymore. For one, making a list and doing an inventory of what you need — and what you already have — before heading to the grocery store is critical for avoiding food waste, particularly on perishable items that can be quick to go bad. “When you throw things out, that is really throwing money in the garbage,” Ahmed-Haq says. She also recommends avoiding putting too much focus on grocers’ loyalty programs. While one loyalty program can be helpful, if shoppers are visiting multiple stores and are enrolled in many different rewards schemes, it can dilute the effectiveness of any savings. Instead, Ahmed-Haq recommends those who live near discount chains take advantage of those, where lower prices can often be found at the expense of wider selections. “Price still trumps everything,” she says. — with files from Global News’s Anne Gaviola1. Detox Diets: Many people turn to detox diets in an attempt to cleanse their bodies of toxins and jumpstart weight loss. However, most detox diets are not backed by scientific evidence and can actually be harmful to your health. These extreme low-calorie diets often lack essential nutrients and can lead to nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and muscle loss. Instead of relying on detox diets, focus on eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support your body's natural detoxification processes.

The NFL suspended Tennessee Titans safety Julius Wood six games on Tuesday for violating the policy on performing-enhancing substances. There are five games remaining this season for the Titans (3-9), so Wood's suspension will bleed into Week 1 of 2025. Wood, 23, went undrafted this spring and signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent. They waived him in August, and he caught on with the Titans, who claimed him off waivers. Wood appeared in nine games, almost exclusively on special teams, and has recorded two tackles. --Field Level Media

Liverpool boss Arne Slot hailed “special” Mohamed Salah after seeing him fire the Premier League leaders to the brink of victory at Newcastle. The Reds ultimately left St James’ Park with only a point after Fabian Schar snatched a 3-3 draw at the end of a pulsating encounter, but Salah’s double – his 14th and 15th goals of the season – transformed a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead before the Switzerland defender’s late intervention. The 32-year-old Egypt international’s future at Anfield remains a topic of debate with his current contract running down. Asked about Salah’s future, Slot said: “It’s difficult for me to predict the long-term future, but the only thing I can expect or predict is that he is in a very good place at the moment. Two goals and an assist for Mo tonight 👏 pic.twitter.com/tMXidgeA0P — Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 4, 2024 “He plays in a very good team that provides him with good opportunities and then he is able to do special things. “And what makes him for me even more special is that in the first hour or before we scored to make it 1-1, you thought, ‘He’s not playing his best game today’, and to then come up with a half-hour or 45 minutes – I don’t know how long it was – afterwards with an assist, two goals, having a shot on the bar, being a constant threat, that is something not many players can do if they’ve played the first hour like he did. “That is also what makes him special. If you just look at the goals, his finish is so clinical. He’s a special player, but that’s what we all know.” Salah did indeed endure a quiet opening 45 minutes by his standards and it was the Magpies who went in at the break a goal to the good after Alexander Isak’s stunning 35th-minute finish. Slot said: “The shot from Isak, I don’t even know if Caoimh (keeper Caoimhin Kelleher) saw that ball, as hard as it was.” Salah set up Curtis Jones to level five minutes into the second half and after Anthony Gordon has restored the hosts’ lead, levelled himself from substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold’s 68th-minute cross. He looked to have won it with a fine turn and finish – his ninth goal in seven league games – seven minutes from time, only for Schar to pounce from a tight angle in the 90th minute. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was delighted with the way his team took the game to the Reds four days after their disappointing 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. Howe, who admitted his surprise that VAR official Stuart Attwell had not taken a dimmer view of a Virgil van Dijk shoulder barge on Gordon, said: “It’s mixed emotions. “Part of me feels we should have won it – a big part of me – but part of me is pleased we didn’t lose either because it was such a late goal for us. “Generally, I’m just pleased with the performance. There was much more attacking output, a much better feel about the team. “There was much better energy, and it was a really good performance against, for me, the best team we’ve played so far this season in the Premier League, so it was a big jump forward for us.”

Activate your Online Access Now Article content The days of moral victories in this market have long since passed and the Senators need to start getting results to make the playoffs. The club is 3-5-2 in its last 10 games, and getting back into the post-season picture means they need to string a few wins together. The Senators went into Tuesday night’s action five points out of the final wildcard spot in the East, but the club was also only three points ahead of the last-place Montreal Canadiens. “Everyone is looking for success,” coach Travis Green said. “You look at the standings right now hovering around .500. The last I checked, I think one game over .500 is in a playoff spot. We’re two games under .500. Trevor Zegras scores on Linus Ullmark to seal the shootout win for Anaheim on Sunday night.

Yes. We’re not looking behind, we’re looking ahead, and there are a lot of teams that are right there and are trying to get on a little run. You can’t get on a run if you don’t win the next one.” The Senators have been plagued by inconsistency in virtually every aspect of their game. They’ve struggled to get saves from goaltenders Linus Ullmark and Anton Forsberg when they’ve needed them most, they’ve been shoddy defensively and goal-scoring has also been an issue.

Article content It has felt like, at times, that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, but Green is right because they’ve still got 58 games remaining and there’s time left to make the playoffs. The club closed out the trip with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Green believes the best bet for the Senators is not to look at the big picture and focus on the task at hand. Michael Amadio of the Ottawa Senators battles in front of the Anaheim net during Sunday’s 4-3 loss that ended in a shootout. Goal-scoring has been one of the issues for the Senators so far, writes Bruce Garrioch. Photo by Ryan Sirius Sun / Getty Images “We’re back home and we’re gearing up for the next game. We’ve got a young group and there’s still a lot of teaching to be done,” Green said. “Confidence is part of it, but also teaching maturity and staying with the game. “But there are probably five or six teams that are probably saying the same thing right now that they’d love to get on a run. We’re no different, but you’ve got to win one in a row to get to two.” FOUR NATIONS HOPEFULS The rosters for the 4 Nations tournament being held in Montreal and Boston in February will be named by the NHL on Wednesday. First up will be the representatives of Finland and Sweden at 2:30 p.m., followed by the players that will suit up for Canada and the United States at 6:30 p.m. on the nationally televised game on Sportsnet.

Article content Ullmark, who has a 5-7-2 record this season with the Senators, will likely be one of three goalies named to Sweden along with Filip Gustavsson of the Minnesota Wild and New Jersey’s Jacob Markstrom . Has the Ottawa Senators’ Jake Sanderson played his way off of the Team USA roster for the 4 Nations tournament? Photo by Ryan Sirius Sun / Getty Images A former Ottawa prospect, Gustavsson has been strong this season for the Wild and Markstrom has the Devils in a playoff position so it will be interesting to see where Ullmark fits on the roster. Senators assistant coach Daniel Alfredsson may be named as an assistant on Team Sweden’s staff. The Senators don’t have any players who will make either Canada or Finland, but the Americans will be interesting to watch. We’re led to believe that Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk is a lock to play for Team USA. That will allow him to finally suit up with his brother, Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers, in a meaningful competition. Matthew, who won the Stanley Cup with the Panthers last spring, was one of the original six players named to the American club in June. Brady has 13 goals and 28 points in 24 games with the Senators this year and answered Team USA GM Bill Guerin’s call by taking part in the IIHF world championship with his country last spring overseas.

He was seemingly a lock for the roster coming into the season, but there are no guarantees he’ll make it after his underwhelming performance during the first quarter of the season. Sanderson has one goal and 14 points in 24 games this season, but is minus-15. Eleven of his 14 points have come on the power play, and that’s not good news for a player who averages more than 22 minutes per game. Sanderson is now projected to miss the roster in favour of the likes of Brock Faber, Adam Fox, Noah Hanifin, Quinn Hughes, Charlie McAvoy, Jaccob Slavin and Zach Werenski .

Jubilation. Joy. Relief. Wonder. Pick your word for it — emotions, each and all of them felt by the masses, came pouring out as the clock struck zero inside Memorial Stadium. The Nebraska football program’s long eight-year bowl drought finally came to an end on a 50-degree November afternoon in downtown Lincoln. That achievement is worth celebrating on its own, but the way Nebraska got it done — dominating, rather than eking over the line against an opponent it knows well — made the accomplishment that much sweeter. Nebraska never trailed in a 44-25 win over Wisconsin on Saturday, securing the program’s first bowl game since the 2016 season. The victory also snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Badgers, and the four-game losing skid which NU entered the day with. For a Nebraska (6-5, 3-5 Big Ten) senior class which had never made the postseason before, their level of play on the field matched the seriousness of the opportunity in front of them. Particularly on the offensive side of the ball, improvements from last week’s loss to USC were evident. Offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, calling his second game as a member of the Nebraska coaching staff, dialed up a blistering six-play, 55-yard touchdown drive to start the game. A 45-yard kickoff return from freshman Jacory Barney Jr. set Nebraska up on the drive, with junior Heinrich Haarberg scoring the 5-yard run to secure NU’s early 7-0 lead. Having parted ways with its offensive coordinator during the week, Wisconsin, (5-6, 3-5) showed no ill effects from that shakeup as it immediately responded with a scoring drive of its own. Helped by a key missed tackle near midfield, Wisconsin found the end zone on a 4-yard passing score from Braedyn Locke to Bryson Green. After the initial scoring drive, Wisconsin took three of its next four possessions into Nebraska territory but came away with just three points from those chances. A Janiran Bonner fumble deep inside Nebraska territory set up Wisconsin with a prime scoring opportunity, but a three-and-out and delay of game penalty contributed to a 34-yard field goal sailing wide. The Badgers pushed across a 33-yard kick later in the half but also missed a second field goal from 41 yards out, a miss which resulted in a 10-play drive netting zero points. Not all of Nebraska’s first-half drives were perfect — the Huskers punted twice and fumbled once — but when things clicked, Wisconsin could do little to slow down the surging Nebraska offense. Nebraska utilized its quick passing game during its second touchdown drive, with a 27-yard gain from Emmett Johnson on a screen pass quickly being followed by a 21-yard Barney gain on a touch pass in the backfield. Running back Dante Dowdell capped off the eight-play, 80-yard touchdown drive with a 12-yard rushing score in which Jahmal Banks and Nate Boerkircher sealed the edge with a pair of punishing blocks. Nebraska also took advantage of Wisconsin’s field goal miscues by scoring touchdowns immediately following both misses. An efficient drive just prior to the halftime break ended with a toe-tap catch from Banks in the back of the end zone, a 5-yard passing score from Dylan Raiola which extended Nebraska’s lead to 21-10. Taking the ball with just 17 seconds left in the half, Wisconsin could’ve kneeled out the clock but instead opted to give running back Tawee Walker a first down carry. NU’s Nash Hutmacher made Wisconsin regret that decision by jarring the ball loose for a Bager turnover. One completion later and Nebraska brought kicker John Hohl onto the field for a 37-yard try, one he dispatched to give the Huskers a 14-point halftime lead. The 24 first-half points scored by Nebraska marked the team’s second-most all season, and the most since NU’s win over Colorado in September. The Huskers came out firing after the halftime break, too, forcing a Wisconsin three-and-out prior to putting together a scoring drive of its own. While the Nebraska drive stalled out prior to the end zone, a 45-yard Hohl field goal gave the Huskers a three-score advantage, 27-10 in their favor. Unable to trust its kicker in a similar situation, Wisconsin instead opted to keep its offense on the field for a fourth down outside the NU red zone. Walker’s carry up the middle was stuffed by the Blackshirts, resulting in a turnover on downs midway through the third quarter. When Nebraska turned that opportunity into a touchdown of its own, the game just about escaped Wisconsin’s reach. Another well-executed scoring drive, this time a seven-play march down the field which took three-plus minutes, ended in a Dowdell 3-yard touchdown run. As Nebraska’s lead reached 34-10, it marked the most points NU has scored against a Big Ten foe under head coach Matt Rhule. Wisconsin did fire back with a touchdown drive late in the third quarter and another midway through the fourth quarter. A third made field from Hohl helped keep Nebraska’s lead safe to the end, though. Nebraska can take away many positives from its win over Wisconsin, with the all-around performance of Johnson at running back and its much-improved offense taking center stage. Most important of all was the fact that Saturday’s win meant six on the season, a mark Nebraska fans hadn’t celebrated since the 2016 season. That major season milestone now secured, Nebraska’s regular season will come to a close during a Black Friday matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
