INFLATION: Canadians worried they can’t feed their families

According to a new poll, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s runaway inflation has left Canadians worried they can’t feed their families this year.

The IPSOS poll shows that 63 per cent of those aged 18-34 and 67 per cent of those aged 34-55 express concern that they won’t be able or will struggle to feed their families.

Even amongst well-off Canadians who earn six figures or higher, concerns remain high, with 57 per cent saying they, too, worry about feeding their families. As for those earning less than $40,000 per year, 72 per cent say they are concerned.

Overall, 60 per cent of Canadians are concerned, which is up 16 per cent since the poll was conducted in November 2021. Inflation, at the time, was 4.7 per cent. It’s now 5.7 per cent, and it isn’t slowing down.

“Moreover, nearly nine in ten (85%, +7pts since November 2021) are concerned (46% very/39% somewhat) that inflation will make everyday things less affordable,” IPSOS writes.

“…. In total, roughly half (52%) of Canadians continue to be already struggling or close to it and say they can ill afford rapidly-rising inflation rates. The other half (48%) of Canadian households can more easily adjust to higher costs. These figures are identical to data from November 2021.”

Additionally, due to the ongoing fuel crisis — which could have been prevented by loosening the federal government’s stranglehold on Alberta’s oil and gas sector — 68 per cent of Canadians now fear that “they might not be able to afford gasoline.”

And these concerns aren’t going anywhere. Due to Trudeau’s carbon tax, gas prices are expected to rise an additional $0.11 on April 1, exasperating an already dire situation.
