Come to the Yukon, we need workers and we pay well.
All you have to do is show up.

Inflation was already crazy after the pandemic, the new war is making it even worse. And it’s all out of control of Canadians.
Cokeinmynostrel on
no shit, what’s hard to believe is 20% of Canadians are receiving wage increases faster than inflation can keep up

And lets add a $90 billion train to the mix!

Well if you tell yourself it would be worse under the Conservatives it’s actually the most affordable as its ever been.

WE KNOW THIS!
WE KNOW COL IS OUTPACING WAGES AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES!
WTAF!

Endless spending and debt will do that….

My rent is outpacing my income on it’s own, nevermind groceries, power, water, and transportation.

And another 19% couldn’t be reached for comment!!

Carney said Canadian are living the best cost of living in a decade. You just havnt experienced it yet.

Government solution: more taxes, let’s keep raping the middle class (what middle class)

Only 80%?? That’s the shocking part.

cue all the apologist “but wages outpace inflation!”
fine but in the last 5 years home and car insurance has gone up almost 19%. How many people’s pay has gone up similar in that time? Some have, absolutely but relate actual pay to actual cost of shit we buy regularly – which also varies by geography.
You can throw general stats around all you want but when money coming in ends up being less than money coming out an you haven’t changed your household budget or in fact, cut back on discretionary spending/got rid of some things then that’s an issue. Many people sacrificing are on fixed rate mortgages too so don’t give me that bullshit about interest rates.
Canadians have had to lower our standard of living more and more just to stay afloat, it’s bullshit. Maybe if government wasn’t so spineless and let various markets like the job market behave like the two-way street it’s supposed to we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I fully admit to being an asshole but COVID should have resulted in many more businesses closing, not a government bailout of cheap labour. Let nature take it’s course in a proper market.

My pay went up $1000 this year…
Half of that got eaten up rent increase alone.

Wage suppression via mass immigration is a hell of a thing, thanks Liberals!! /s

the 10 cent raise i just got from my employer for the year whom has $9 billion and counting is really helping me afford that extra loaf of bread every week now

Yet y’all will keep voting Liberal 🤣

Its been this way year after year for a very long time now.

I never thought I’d live to see a day where the Toronto Sun is the Canadian publication most consistently producing relevent news about what Canadians are genuinely experiencing, but here we are.
They stepped up while the other ones all but stopped covering meaningful stories.

Only 80? I guarantee the other 20% are in or near retirement.
Hoefty224421 on
80% knew about this poll 2 years ago before the news came out.

Does the 1% care in the least? No they don’t.

I have just enough to cover my overhead but no chance of saving anything.
crimsontape on
Lol, you don’t need a poll for that – the STC data on incomes and spending categories says it all. And more if you’re looking at the bigger data sets, by province – indexes, average prices.
But sure, run a survey!

Living in itself feels like a boiling frog experiment. How much more are people going to take? Mental health is at an all time low… I wouldn’t be surprised if suicide rates start going up. People are running out of options with little to no help available, regardless if help is being advertised, there is only so much a person can tolerate before giving up.
Xenophonehome on
What do you all expect? Canadians are really gullible and don’t have the backbone or organization to fix our corrupt economy that obviously just caters to the rich.
We get ripped off almost every time we spend and just accept it.
Watch how fast grocery prices would drop if coordinated boycotts were actually happening and sustained.
Just keep complaining online and maybe things will change!

It’s like the liberals are trying to ruin Canada, oh wait. They already did.

Remember Carney during the 2025 election? Judge me by grocery prices!
That aged well.
heboofedonme on
We got inflation at like 2.4% and grocery prices up 4+~ % and fuel prices same thing up from last year. My raises are no where close to that.
Otheus on
Add in high taxation and high fuel cost and I’m not having a good time

Only 80 percent??

It’s not gonna be pretty for those in power when most people are homeless, hungry, and have nothing to lose.

Just CPP alone has gone up a staggering amount over the past decade.
In 2016 the max contribution for CPP was $2544, this year the max will be $4230 (and that is just on the employee side)
That is a 60% increase over 10 years.
Feels like it gets farther and farther out of reach for most people to hit that point in the year where CPP and EI are paid off and you get that “bonus” money on your checks to close out the year
Inner_Clerk7769 on
So lets keep voting liberal! Surely within that 80% lies the cognitively dissonant liberal voter who complains about the cost of living yet doesnt change their voting habits.
ga11y on
Yet people vote for things to not change 😂😂 it’s hard feeling bad for some people.

There’s no way 20% are getting raises or finding better paying jobs.

Don’t worry, grocery rebate cheques are coming. That will solve it!

Only 80%? The other 20% probably doesn’t pay rent
