Winnipeggers\u2019 steady erosion under the Gillingham Administration continues unabated this year. Neither managers nor solvers of problems plaguing Winnipeggers. Gillingham, the career politician elected Mayor in 2022 with 27% of the vote, promised stability. A promise falling well short 4 years later for Winnipeggers, looking at the numbers.<\/p>\n

According to Statistics Canada, Winnipeg\u2019s annual inflation rate<\/a> reached 4.5% in May 2026, a noticeable acceleration from the 4.3% recorded in April. By comparison, the overall annual inflation rate for Canada as a whole sat at 3.2% during the same period. Winnipeg\u2019s June inflation ranks fourth highest<\/a> among Canada\u2019s largest Census Metropolitan Areas.<\/p>\n
