Canada faces lower costs as meat slump hits farmers
The March cost of living is expected to dip for the third straight month after February’s 1.7 point drop the largest in nine years.

Farmers face reduced revenue and potential broader economic impact as cattle and meat trade falls. Readouts show February sub-group shifts with foods down to 241.7 and rents steady at 146.3.
