Rents are up (almost everywhere)

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says that, across the country, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $989 (Although that would be pretty cheap in Vancouver and Toronto.) But some cities are getting a break: Saskatoon, Edmonton and Calgary saw rental rates drop.

The average cost of a two-bedroom apartment in Vancouver this year is $1,552, the highest in Canada, according to CMHC figures released Tuesday.

Telecom problems

Canadians complained about telecoms 9,000 times last year. Canada's telecom watchdog said the number of complaints in 2016-17 was up 11 per cent from the previous year. The majority were about wireless issues, but complaints about internet service were gaining speed.
