In Canada, consumer prices across every expense category have roughly doubled over the last 9 years, implying an annual inflation rate of 8%.

Anyone with a calculator and the “Rule of 72” can independently verify this as fact.

That every government mouthpiece intones the party dogma doesn’t change this fact.

Your government is lying to you.

Your energy prices are double what they were a decade ago?

Btw, official stats show prices up 30% in Canada over the past 10 years [1].

Real utility bills of real citizens have doubled. All the associated taxes, delivery fees, etc. are clearly not included, or they’ve used substitution to alter the baseline basket they’re using to compute the metric (a common tactic).

Ask 10 citizens who own/rent the same property what their utility bill was a decade ago.

You’re being gaslighted.
