OTTAWA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Canadians continued to feel the impact of rising prices in May as consumer inflation rose to 7.7 percent year over year, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.
This was the largest yearly increase since January 1983 and up from a 6.8 percent gain in April, the national statistical office said, adding that the acceleration in May was largely due to higher prices for gasoline, which rose 12 percent compared with -0.7 percent in April.
