You don’t need an economics degree to tell that prices have skyrocketed over the past few years. Any Canadian who buys groceries, fills up the gas tank or pays rent knows that inflation has taken a big bite out of their take-home pay. The same goes with our crumbling standard of living.

Shocking Stat of the week
You have to see this. In 2006 the Canada Pension Plan switched from passive to active management. The cost will astound you but maybe not as much as the lack of performance.

Did any outlet report that food inflation dropped for the 4th month in a row in April with prices lower than March?

Food purchased from stores experienced a year-over-year increase of 1.4%, the lowest since July 2021...Yet the reactions/ comments about the inflation data suggest that few have recognized that Stats Canada essentially announced a major shift in food pricing.
This reaction stems from a deeply ingrained obsession. Food inflation has been politicized to an extreme, exploited by all sides of the political spectrum. The political weaponization of higher food prices has rendered most Canadians resistant to the rational analysis necessary to understand the current situation.
