This though has a direct impact on the least wealthy and most vulnerable Canadians. When we talk about inflation, economists don't like to include and will typically exclude things they consider too volatile to measure in inflation, things like food, energy and the cost of housing. If you want to subtract the three things that people need to survive, I don't doubt it might be easy to convince people there's no inflation.
What would you say to especially lower-income Canadians who are feeling the pinch of all the things they need to survive, month to month, rising in price?
