Inflation data release: Statistics Canada will publish its consumer price index for October on Monday, highlighting a September annual inflation rate of 3.1%, driven by higher gasoline costs.\n\n2. Real estate market outlook: The Canadian Real Estate Association projects a 5.2% decline in home sales for 2026, down from 2025, as it downgrades its 2026 forecast.\n\n3. Prime Minister's international trip: Mark Carney is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation leaders meeting in Shenzhen, China, following his extensive travels including ASEAN summit in the Philippines, Francophonie summit in Cambodia, and the European Political Community summit in Ireland.\n\n4. Retail sales report: Retail sales for September are expected to rise by 0.7%, though revisions may occur. August saw a 1.2% gain to $74.6 billion, fueled by motor vehicle and parts dealers.\n\n5. Winnipeg's historic Arlington Bridge demolition: The 114-year-old steel-truss bridge, nearing the end of its lifespan, will be demolished despite its recyclable components like concrete, steel, and wood.",
