Just over half of Canadians say they are $200 away or less from not being able to pay all of their bills at the end of the month amid higher interest rates and inflation.

Thats the lie we spread yeah. We have it much better than some, but in many areas it’s a lot worse than you think. Where I’m at our rental market has nearly double the average price for a 2 bedroom apartment in the span of like 2 years. Places that went for 800 and were in very rough underfunded neighborhoods now going for close to 2000. Our homeless population here has also been doubling every few months since the pandemic aid ended. In the winter its particularly bad and a lot of people have died from exposure or from accidentally starting fires.
