Nearly half, or 45 per cent, of Canadians say rising prices are “greatly impacting” their ability to meet day-to-day expenses, which is 12 percentage points higher than two years ago, according to a Statistics Canada study.

The study, which compiled responses from Canadians gathered in the spring, was published on Thursday.
