Aug 19 (Reuters) - Canada's main index opened higher on Tuesday, helped by gains in telecom stocks, while a cooler-than-expected domestic inflation data kept the door open for the Bank of Canada to resume policy easing.

At 9:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE), was up 0.1% at 27,951.82 points.
