Canada's food inflation (year-over-year for December 2025, as per Statistics Canada) stands at 6.2% overall for food, with grocery store food (food purchased from stores) up 5.0% and restaurant food up 8.5%.
In comparison, US food inflation (year-over-year for December 2025, per Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI data) is significantly lower:
- Overall food: +3.1%
- Food at home (groceries): +2.4%
- Food away from home (restaurants): +4.1%
This means Canada's food price pressures are roughly double those in the US for groceries and overall food categories. Canada currently leads the G7 in food inflation (around 5-6%), while the US sits near the lower end of the group at ~3.1%. Factors like supply chain issues, energy costs, and policy differences (e.g., tariffs and domestic regulations) contribute to the gap, with Canada facing more acute challenges in affordability for essentials like beef and coffee.
What are your thoughts on this? Is TRUMP TO BLAME?!? or does this fall on Canadas government and their tariffs on US imports?
