Inflation is now the #1 fear with "6 in 10 Canadians concerned they might not have enough money to feed their family", according to an Ipsos poll.

Most Canadians have never experienced high inflation. It has been flat at 2% for 3 decades, but now jumped to 8% in 2022, and is now down to 5% in 2023.

Many people are asking me what is going on and can I give them some context.
