Woman with groceriesCanadian grocery bills may climb again in 2026, with higher meat prices expected to be a key driver, according to a new national forecast. Researchers behind Canada’s Food Price Report 2026 estimate that overall food prices could increase between 4% and 6% next year. Beef prices, in particular, are expected to rise sharply, putting pressure on household budgets and pushing up costs across the meat aisle (1). “We’re expecting another difficult year due to beef prices and, because people are pivoting towards chicken, chicken prices are also on the rise,” Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab and lead author of the report, told CBC News (2).

2025 was the year of the tariff. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide if 2026 is the year some tariffs die

With the renegotiation of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) getting underway next summer, Packard also noted that continued IEEPA tariffs would be bad news for Canadian and Mexican negotiators. But CUSMA was deemed the “gold standard” of trade deals under the first Trump administration, Hale pointed out. Whatever the Supreme Court decides, the White House has made it abundantly clear it will pull other levers at its disposal to impose tariffs.
