Canada now outpaces the US on food inflation, with the average family paying $1,600 more a year for groceries than before the pandemic. Ottawa is exploring rebates and publicly-owned supermarkets, but experts say neither works at the scale being proposed. ow.ly/gcpt50YPwQo
On the left: a photo looking down a supermarket aisle with fully stocked shelves. On the right: text that reads “Grocery prices will keep rising no matter what politicians promise. Cash rebates help but leave us powerless against entrenched chains.”

Canada’s retirement system is leaving women behind. Despite decades of reform, older women still earn far less than men and face higher poverty rates. Journalist Moira Welsh on what it will it take to close the gender pay gap: thewalrus.ca/canada-pension-gap
On the left: an image of two jars filled with coins, one with a man's silhouette and one with a woman's, on a red background. The male jar contains a greater amount of coins. On the right: text that reads “$28,600 a year: what the average older Canadian woman lives on. Many choose flexibility or family over pay, only to arrive at retirement with a meagre pension.”
