CNN: Prices of food & gas fall

I’ll believe the BLS.
But people really don’t have a sense of “0% inflation this month = prices aren’t up from last month”. People have anchored in their mind what prices “should” be, and they are still higher than that, ergo “we still have inflation”.
I think what most people would subjectively interpret as “inflation went down to 0” would be a return to summer 2021 price levels. But in reality that would be significant deflation.

I was looking at the Chicago Mercantile. Are the prices the same in Canada?
