Jan 20, 2017 | 7:30 AM

OTTAWA — Canada’s national annual inflation rate was 1.5 per cent in December, Statistics Canada said Friday. The agency also released rates for major cities, but cautioned that figures may fluctuate widely because they are based on small statistical samples (previous month in brackets):

— St. John’s, N.L., 4.1 per cent (3.8)

— Charlottetown-Summerside, 1.2 (1.6)

— Halifax, 1.4 (1.3)
