What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Statistics Canada released data concerning the housing market in Ontario. The findings indicate that in 2024, almost one in four households surveyed found housing unaffordable, and over one in three renters spent more than 30% of their income on rent. The report also noted that the adult minimum wage in Ontario will increase by 35 cents per hour to $17.95 on October 1, but this increase is deemed insufficient to match the cost of living increases.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Experts warn that high prices are continuing to rise rather than stabilize. The cost of living crisis is further complicated by factors such as tariffs, rising food prices, and increased gasoline and shipping costs due to global events.
