    Canadian consumers kept on spending last month, defying a tariff war that threatens their employment and wealth. An advance estimate suggests receipts for retailers rose 0.5% in April, Statistics Canada said Friday. That extended a 0.8% gain in March, which beat the median projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The better-than-expected March figures came after retail sales fell in January and February on a seasonally adjusted basis.

    Canadian inflation eased to its slowest pace since September on the elimination of the consumer carbon tax and lower oil prices, but core measures accelerated. The consumer price index rose 1.7% from a year ago in April, down from 2.3% in March, Statistics Canada data showed Tuesday. The median projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists saw the headline rate rising by only 1.6%. The index fell 0.1% on the month, compared with economists’ projections of a 0.2% drop.
