More than half of Canadians are struggling to pay for household grocery bills as the country faces a 7.7 percent inflation rate, the highest in 39 years, a new Angus Reid Institute (ARI) study shows.
Out of more than 5,000 adult Canadians surveyed, 45 percent said they are worse off now than they were at this time a year ago—the highest rate recorded in the past 12 years, the study said. But more than one-third (34 percent) believe things will get worse in a year from now—also the highest number in more than a decade.
