Blame the pandemic, cost-of-living woes or just a decade of change, including wars overseas and the first Trump presidency, but more Canadians these days are feeling older than their years compared to nine years ago.

In a new survey released by Angus Reid, a quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) say they feel physically older than their chronological age, while a slightly smaller number (21 per cent) claim to feel mentally older. These figures compare to 23 and 19 per cent, respectively, in a similar survey conducted in 2015.
