According to a recent Ipsos poll conducted by MNP LTD., Canadians’ pocketbooks are continuing to get lighter as a result of recent interest rate increases. The latest results from the quarterly survey indicate a worsening situation foreshadows more trouble ahead. Up five percent over the last six months, more than two in eight (43%) Canadians say they’ve felt the pinch of higher interest payments, and more than half (51%) are now concerned past and future hikes could impact their ability to repay their debts. Also up five percent, a full third of Canadians now believe this trend could push them towards bankruptcy.
