per cent in the past year.</p><p>Canadians are likely feeling the compounding effect of a weak loonie and drought earlier in the year on beef prices, he says, with the latter reducing cattle stocks and limiting supplies of beef coming from south of the border.</p><p>Guatieri says consumers can also expect prices to rise a bit sharper heading into the end of the year, particularly ahead of the holiday season when Canadians are buying and eating more food than usual.</p> <div class="c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad"> <div class="c-ad__label">Story continues below advertisement</div> <div
