Lower prices for travel tours and traveller accommodation, in addition to slower growth for rent prices, put downward pressure on the all-items CPI. Offsetting this were higher prices for goods, driven by price increases for groceries as well as a smaller decline for gasoline prices.

Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose 2.6% for the third consecutive month.

## Grocery price inflation accelerates

## Prices by major component

Prices for food purchased from stores rose 4.2% year over year in November, the largest increase since late 2023. The main contributors to the acceleration were fresh fruit (+4.4%), led by higher prices for berries, and other food preparations (+6.6%).
58
+
Among the eight major components of the CPI, food prices showed the largest year-over-year increase at 4.2%. Mortgage interest costs and rent continued to put upward pressure on this category.

104
-
Prices for fresh or frozen beef (+17.7%) and coffee (+27.8%) continued to be significant contributors to overall grocery inflation on an annual basis. Higher beef prices have been driven, in part, by lower cattle inventories in North America. Coffee prices have been impacted by adverse weather conditions in growing regions and rose amid American tariffs on coffee-producing countries.
On an annual basis in November, prices rose at a faster pace in five provinces, were unchanged in two, and rose at a slower pace in the remaining three compared with October.
147
-
148
-
Of all the provinces, prices accelerated the most in Manitoba, rising 3.3% year over year in November—the highest provincial rate. Higher shelter costs, particularly mortgage interest, were a key driver. At the other end, Prince Edward Island recorded the slowest increase at 1.4%, well below the national average of 2.2%.

## Provincial variation

-
Quebec (+3.0%) and New Brunswick (+2.7%) also exceeded the national rate, while Ontario (+1.9%) and Alberta (+1.9%) remained below it. The 1.9 percentage point spread between Manitoba and Prince Edward Island reflects significant regional variation in inflation pressures across the country.
102
+
Price increases varied across provinces and territories. Manitoba recorded the highest year-over-year increase at 3.3%, driven by rising shelter and transportation costs. Prince Edward Island showed the lowest increase at 1.4%.
