Canada's inflation rate decelerated to 3.4 per cent in the year up to May, Statistics Canada said Tuesday, led by sharply lower gasoline prices. But beneath the headline slowdown in consumer prices, many facets of the cost of living are still increasing at an eye-watering pace. Grocery prices went up at an almost nine per cent pace.

What is a 'median' family, though? We have 2 kids under 10 and let me tell you groceries ain't cheap.

Median family income (after tax) for 2021 was $68k. Highest was Alberta at $77k, the lowest NB with $60k.

I couldn't find median, but average household size is 2.9 people.
