Well, if you pay rent, then Ontario has fixed the rent increase to no more than 1.8%.  While I can't speak for other provinces, I don't imagine rent increase are too very high in Alberta, given the current economy.

Regarding groceries, several grocery stocks have gotten slammed this past year, as they've reported food price deflation.  A higher Canadian dollar will translate into even lower food prices (for that food which we import from the US and Mexico)

Regarding transportation, the price of oil has been declining, and correspondingly, the price of gas at the pumps is also declining.  Further evidence of deflation.

I've just given you three concrete examples of why inflation is somewhat in check, in three of the most common categories.... food, housing and transportation.

If it makes you feel better, then you can bellyache on these boards, but frankly I'm not seeing evidence of huge inflation in the Canadain economy (outside of new home prices in Toronto and Vancouver)
