WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadians and Americans are frustrated with the high cost of groceries, electricity, and gas, but political fallout from that anxiety looks very different on either side of the border.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians surveyed recently by Abacus Data — 63 per cent — said the rising cost of living was among the top three issues facing the country, making it the single highest-ranked concern. In the United States, 89 per cent — nearly 9 in 10 voters — said the cost of living had a crucial or major impact on their midterm vote, according to an NBC exit poll.
