These are the selections used for this answer. The full Statistics Canada table (18-10-0004-01) contains other measures and breakdowns.

Adapted from Statistics Canada, Consumer Price Index, monthly, not seasonally adjusted, 2026-08-17. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Overall change is the last index value minus the first and is reported in index points; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
