Last year I kept hearing that buying 5% GICs wouldn't beat inflation and I kept saying that the inflation numbers are for the last year, not the next year. Here we are well under 5%.

You still can get a 5.5% 1 year GIC at the moment, not that bad of a deal if you plan on putting some money into GIC.
