Though Covid topped the worry charts for three years, several surveys by established organizations have revealed Canadians are now battling a bigger challenge: “stress and sleeplessness” caused by anxieties over finances.
A survey released by Bromwich+Smith found that the biggest stressor, reported by 82 per cent of those surveyed, was rising inflation and the increased cost of living.
This comes when the year-over-year inflation in Canada rose 7.7 per cent, the highest increase since 1983, and a new study from the Angus Reid Institute found that 45 per cent of Canadians say they are worse off now than they were at this time last year, the highest level in at least 12 years.
