B.C. economy tops in Canada: Economic Forest Council

The province is saying that the B.C. economy is projected to outperform the rest of the country.
According to the Economic Forecast Council, the economy remains resilient amid global uncertainty, with steady growth over the forecast horizon
“From day one, we chose to invest in the people who power our province. Today, we’re seeing the results of those decisions as the Economic Forecast Council reaffirms its expectation that B.C.’s economy will outperform the country, despite global headwinds,” said Carole James, Minister of Finance.
“A resilient economy means British Columbia is well prepared to respond to global trade challenges, while continuing to deliver landmark investments in people and services.”
The council predicts that B.C. real gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by two percent in 2019, 2.4 percent in 2020 and 2.2 percent in 2021.
B.C. has the lowest unemployment rate in the country and is the only province in Canada with a triple-A credit rating from the three major international rating agencies.
Meanwhile, it retained its position atop the national leaderboard, with the strongest employment growth year-to-date to November.
The Economic Forecast Council includes some of Canada’s most respected independent forecasters who meet annually with the minister of finance to offer economic advice in advance of each year’s budget and fiscal plan.
The council will provide an updated economic forecast with the release of Budget 2020.
The Ministry of Finance’s First Quarterly Report, released on Sept. 10, forecast B.C. real GDP growth of 1.7 percent for 2019 and 1.9 percent for 2020.
The Economic Forecast Council projects Canadian real GDP growth of 1.5 percent for 2019 (versus two percent for B.C.), 1.7 percent for 2020 (versus 2.4 percent for B.C.) and 1.8 percent for 2021 (versus 2.2 percent for B.C.)
B.C. led all provinces by having the lowest unemployment rate for two years – one of the longest periods in more than a decade.

The strange tale of the paid protesters supporting Meng Wanzhou at her extradition hearing
By Karin Larsen, CBC News
Published January 21. 2020
Judge grills Meng's lawyers on double criminality issue
Demonstrators outside B.C. Supreme Court on Day 1 of Meng Wanzhou's extradition hearing Monday. Actor Julia Hackstaff, far right, says she was told she was appearing as an extra in a movie shoot.
(Yes - the reality of the Red Chinese savagery and slave labourers and general repression must be so carefully hidden that Fake protestors are required to HIDE the iron Soviet Chinese fist inside the velvet glove!! As if deliberately snatching two Cdns off a Beijing street and imprisoning them in solitary confinement in a show of SPITE at being caught conniving with Tehran Nuclear Nutbars was not bad enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Two people who demonstrated in support of Meng Wanzhou outside B.C. Supreme Court during her extradition hearing say they were unwittingly recruited under false pretences and paid to be there.
Meng, the CFO of Chinese tech giant Huawei, was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 at the request of the U.S., which seeks to extradite her to face charges of fraud. A number of people showed up on the first day of her hearing Monday and held signs supporting her.
(The reality is that Ottawa should wash its hands of this wretched woman with her
happy disregard for United Nations sanctions against Iranian nutbars and her strong interest in selling us 5G technology that could - if activated by Red Chinese spies - do HUGE DAMAGE to our economy by shutting down critical infrastructure!! Picture the HUGE trouble that would ensue if half of all bank accounts in Canada suddenly DISAPPEARED and millions of Cdns were suddenly rendered penniless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Or consider the sudden loss of 50 percent of all hospital records related to critical care patients in hospitals!! Our health care system would be crippled by such a sudden loss of information about everything from ultrasound tests to blood tests and cancer patient treatments in progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
For actor Julia Hackstaff of Vancouver it all started with a promise of $100 for two hours of work in what she understood to be an appearance as an extra in a movie shoot. Hackstaff said the offer came over Facebook from a person in the acting community she has never met.
"It's terrible, it's horrifying," she said. "I was sincerely going to participate in something that seemed cool and a nice opportunity. And they took advantage of my profession and my passion ... to make a false protest."
The second person, whom CBC News has agreed not to identify and will refer to as SP, said she was recruited by a friend promising a $150 payday just to show up at the courthouse and hold a sign.
"I was told it was to free Ms. Meng. I had never heard that name before in my life," said SP, also of Vancouver. "I had to go after and Google what Huawei was because I never heard that [name] before in my life. I didn't even know it was a company."
(SP LIVES in Vancouver and has NOT heard the name Meng before?? What kind of idiot is she?? Should we ask if she is a secret friend to Red China who did not expect her presence at a protest would be noticed?????????????)
Both women say they don't know who was ultimately offering the payment for their participation.
SP says a woman identified only as "Jowe" [pronounced "Joey"] handed out the signs at the courthouse.
"She didn't say much, she just shook our hands," said SP, who was standing with a small group of people. "She disappeared for a bit and came back and she had the red signs that you can see in the pictures a lot of people holding. So I assume either she made them or someone got them made for her, and she just basically handed them out. That was it. We were given no instruction, no information on what we're doing."
(NO need for a lot of talk just to set up a quick media photo shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Hackstaff says she and a friend were told by her contact to go to the Holiday Inn a few blocks away and then brought to the courthouse. When they arrived, they approached a group of young people who looked "lost" she assumed were background actors.
"I went and asked, 'Are you guys the extras?' And one guy said yes. He then asked me my name and my friend's name. So we gave him our first names and he checked on his phone like [as] if he had a list."
Hackstaff said she was handed a red sign that said "Free Ms. Meng, Equal Justice!" Soon after, she began questioning what was actually going on.
"A CBS reporter approached me and my friend and she started interviewing us. And it was in those moments and questions where I started realizing, OK, if this was background work, they wouldn't need detail on background people."
"And then I started realizing, wait, no one called 'action,'" she said.
Hackstaff says she "freaked out" when a second reporter approached, coming to the realization that the movie she thought she was appearing in was, in fact, something very real. She says that's when she left without being paid.
SP says her friend paid her $150 via an e-transfer. She says after she read up on Meng and Huawei, she feels deep regret at having participated in what she feels was a faux protest.
"I wasn't educated ... and that's a shame on me," she said. "I really wish there was a way to go back in time."
CBC News has left messages with the woman identified as Jowe. She has not responded.
(No - and Jowe aint likely to respond - she has gone back into the spy game shadows now that her little stunt has failed to gain sympathy for Meng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(In related news - one has to WONDER why in hell LIE-berals are screwing around with Meng?? After all its not like Canada HAS THE RESOURCES to verify her guilt or innocence related to her Iran activities!! Iran is a CLOSED SOCIETY and NOSY CDNS aint welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It looks as if Meng has become a LIE-beral political football!! Our idiot Boy Justin is NOTORIOUS for his friendly regard towards Red China and it certainly LOOKS AS IF the idiot Boy is looking for some way to release Meng in order to curry favour with his Beijing Butcher pals - but without further hurting U.S. - Canada relations any more than he already has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
