Living in Canada got a lot more expensive last month as the accelerating price of gasoline and the emergence of food inflation pushed the rate of increase in Canada's consumer price index to over three per cent for the first time in nearly three years.
Statistics Canada said Wednesday the country's annual inflation rate jumped to 3.1 per cent in June from 2.2 per cent the previous month, the biggest one-month leap since September 2005.
From May, prices were 0.7 per cent higher.

The bottom line is that Canadians just aren't sheltered from forces we're seeing around the world on food, partly because the Canadian dollar is no longer rising and cutting into import prices," economist Douglas Porter of BMO Capital Markets said in an interview.
"Part of it is the incredible pressures on things like pasta, flour and bread."
Pasta products were 35.9 per cent costlier than 12 months earlier, while flour cost 44.5 per cent more and bread was on average 17.7 per cent more expensive.
