Soaring inflation is adding to the concerns of younger Canadians and families with children keeping their households fed, a new Ipsos poll says.

The poll, conducted between March 11 and 16 for Global News, shows that six out of 10 Canadians are worried about not having enough money to feed their families—a figure that saw a 16 percent increase compared to an earlier Ipsos survey conducted in November 2021, when Canada’s annual inflation rate was at 4.7 percent.
