Quick Glance: White House Easter Egg Roll Draws Huge Crowd Following Storm Delayed Start
- The start of the Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed by 90 minutes due to thunder and lightning, before the event kicked off under gray skies with a large crowd, including many children wearing ponchos or colorful jackets against light rain.
- More than 40,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year, were expected to participate in guiding hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme of 'EGG-ucation' was led by Jill Biden, a teacher for over 30 years.
- President Joe Biden emphasized that Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection, primarily focusing on love and grace towards others. He also highlighted the significance of values and blessings that Americans hold.
- Guests at the egg roll included thousands of military and veteran families, alongside their caregivers and survivors. Tickets for attendance were allocated to the general public through an online lottery, with entry granted in nine waves spanning until the evening.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Canadian Inflation Rises Due to Increase in Gasoline Prices
- Canadian consumer prices saw a slight increase, primarily due to higher gasoline prices. Core metrics indicated further progress in disinflation, prompting the central bank to prepare for a shift to looser monetary policy as early as June or July.
- In March, the consumer price index rose by 2.9% compared to the previous year, up from the 2.8% reported a month earlier. Excluding gasoline, the index slowed to 2.8% from the previous year, in contrast to February's 2.9%.
- However, indications of underlying price pressures decreased. The averages of the Bank of Canada's two core measures decreased to an annual rate of 2.95%, weaker than anticipated. Following the release, yields on two-year Canadian government bonds dropped by approximately 10 basis points to 4.18%.
- The March inflation data suggest that the decline in core metrics this year is not temporary. Bank of Canada officials are now waiting to be convinced that the path to the 2% target can be sustained before making adjustments to monetary policy.
