Why inflation feels worse for some Canadians | Cost of Living

Описание: Inflation may be easing — but it might not feel that way for you. Your personal inflation rate can look very different depending on where you live, whether you rent or own, and what you spend your money on. Two Canadians test a calculator from Statistics Canada to see how their real costs stack up. Then, economist Mark Blyth breaks down why these gaps can fuel political anger and polarization. Plus, why Canadians are keeping their cars longer and what that means for your wallet.
