Yes, we know you're a naive sheep.

Our GDP growth has never been lower and they keep cutting the forecast.

Only country in the G7 that went into recession this year.

Lowest GDP growth of all G7 countries.

Biggest trade trade deficit of all G7 countries.

7 straight budget deficits and this is during austerity periods.

And looking forward, our GDP growth keeps getting slashed by the OECD, IMF and Bank of Canada.

A more useful analysis would be one that compares Canada's recent economic performance to other developed countries over the same time period. The numbers show that in recent years, Canada has experienced better economic growth, enjoyed greater increases in household gross disposable income (after-tax income), and ran lower budget deficits.

Misleading analyses on Canada's supposedly poor economic performance should be ignored

it's like this historic plagiarist/liar's 'attacked' thread.

now he's on 'recession' again.

he wouldn't know a retraction or admission of an error if it bludgeoned him over the head.

just an unexceptional troll.

Lol

You are so naive.

That GDP per capita figure just means that the population growth rate slowed.

In its World Economic Outlook released on Tuesday, the IMF downgraded its forecast for the Canadian economy by half a percentage point to 1 per cent this year. It forecast the growth for the Canadian economy in 2016 to be 1.7 per cent.

Surprisingly, there is a backlash on this issue and it's actually putting the Liberals in first.
So what's Who going to do then?

GDP per capita just means population growth slowed.
Apparently not: the following graph seems to indicate a steady growth in population:

Do you repeat the exact same thing at parties?

Is that your idea of fun? Lol


Anyway, cheer up.

Good news is on the way!


The Liberals narrowly hold the edge in the CBC Poll Tracker, with 32.9 per cent support against 32.4 per cent for the Conservatives. The New Democrats stand at 24.3 per cent, with the Greens at 4.8 per cent support and the Bloc Québécois at 19.3 per cent in Quebec.

This has a big impact on the overall seat count, which now gives the Liberals 127 seats to 124 for the Conservatives and 85 for the NDP. The projected edge of 10 seats for the Liberals over the Conservatives in Ontario makes the difference.

Flooosy doesn't seem to understand the difference between growth and growth rate. Interesting. But whatever. Flossy also can't seem to accept the other 2 aspects of Loc's chart; namely GDP per capita change and Household gross disposable income change.
