Canada Inflation Rate December 2025

Statistics Canada just reported headline inflation at 2.4 per cent year over year in December, up from 2.2 per cent in November. Part of that rise is due to a base-year effect from a temporary tax break last December that has now fallen out of the comparison. On a monthly basis prices actually fell in December, and most measures of core inflation that the Bank of Canada watches suggest price pressure is easing rather than accelerating. That means the headline rise looks stronger than the underlying trend. (Government of Canada, 2026). https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260119/dq260119a-eng.htm

Meanwhile Meat is at 14% 😞 https://x.com/i/status/2013390402364010829

1.9

If it was actually accurate... 🙄

To all those downvoting my comment, here is what I was referring to. Meat is up 14%! So for everyday consumers price isn't merely rising by 2.4%, that number is way off from reality as the general CPI metrics are different from year to year due to statistical manipulation by changing the weight (%) for each category. https://x.com/i/status/2013390402364010829

The bullet I shot my moose with was an old one from last year so I had no increase in the price of my meat :)
