Tough economic conditions around the world are forcing the Canadian government to act accordingly. And even though many provinces are promising hourly wage increases, living costs will not be small. Canadians are worried because they have families to feed, cars to fill and houses to pay for.

Gas prices will rise

Analysts predict that gas prices will rise in 2023. During the holidays, the cost went down slightly, but it will rise even higher than the previous year.

Gas, oil, diesel and gasoline will start getting more expensive after the second week of January.

But it is predicted that by April the decline will begin. We have to consider that the federal carbon tax will increase significantly.

Groceries are one of the main items of monthly expenses. According to research, the annual check will increase by about $1,000 CAD next year. That is an increase of at least 7% in groceries in stores.

This year, shipments of wheat, sunflower oil, and fertilizer declined. Yields on Canadian land have fallen.
