Canadians are feeling the pinch, with nearly one-quarter saying they are completely tapped out financially, according to a new poll.

Conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Global News, the poll suggests there is a growing proportion of Canadians (22 percent) who say they are “completely out of money” and there is “no way they can pay more for household necessities.”
