Canada's inflation rate as measured by the CPI has not consistently risen or fallen every year, but has instead risen in some years and fallen in others. This is due to a variety of factors, including fluctuations in the economy, changes in government policies, and international events. However, over the long-term, the trend has generally been towards a gradual increase in prices, with inflation averaging around 2% per year between 1972 and 2012.
