“Inflation in this country is not really an issue. Virtually every underlying inflation measure is comforted within the Bank of Canada’s comfort zone,” said Rosenberg.
Except the one that affects everyone on a daily basis – food. This is so out of touch, who care’s if the poors can’t eat as long as stonks go up.
Everything is such doom and gloom, yes things are more expensive but everyone talks like the country is 3 weeks from imploding.
You know where else things are expensive? Every country on earth, we’re not special.
at least the crosstown is opening up soon baby!
Relying on student visas and boomer real estate was never gonna work long term anyway. Why ring alarms bells now?
So much talent here wasted. Lots of former classmates now in Europe, the US.
I honestly believe that a significant portion of Canada does not want to be self dependant.
Silicon valley is literally begging for waterloo grads, but I’d wager those same folk would struggle here to find employment.
Everyone knows we have the talent. The question is, why aren’t we doing better?
Double major in economics and drama
Been hearing that for 20 years..
Ecominsit always think we are in a recession.
Food inflation is not inflation at all, if it was corporations would not be making record profits s every year.
Corporations are obligated to make profits for shareholders ..so they raise prices and blame a bunch of other things…so we get distracted .
We should be cuting corporate welfare and subsidizing food costs instead.. billion doller company’s dont need tax payer funds its a lie
Australian who lurks here. Off topic a bit but I’m always amazed at how much everything that goes on in your country mirrors our own experience over here.
We made a decision in the 1980s to hitch our wagon to the US and to doubling down as a resource producing economy. Now the US is screwing us out of our manufacturing, sold off our resource companies, and failed to develop our internal economy. Yes, we are facing hard times.
Our real estate market, correcting down and staying down could save us. It is well documented that Canadian dollars are economically better suited to be invested in productive assets or spent rather than tied up in real estate.
Canada is projected to have the second highest real GDP growth among G7 nations between 2025 and 2027. https://www.imf.org/en/publications/weo/issues/2026/01/19/world-economic-outlook-update-january-2026
The “economist” literally just wants an interest rate cut, with no proposal on how to develop our industries and create jobs.
As a disclaimer, I don’t think Canada’s economy is as strong as it should be. Unemployment rate is unacceptable. But there’s a lot of middle ground between pretending that everything is going well and whatever this article is.
Economists have predicted 37 of the last 3 recessions
No, Canada’s economy is not on „life support“ whatever that means.
It has been since 2015
Rosenberg is a permanent bear. He’s been calling recessions for years that have never happened.
But according to Carney today in QP, it’s the opposition’s fault for high grocery bills.
So growing the economy from “the heart out” didn’t work out properly? Or “the budget would balance itself”. That didn’t work either?
Population was down 0.2 percent in Q3, probably more in Q4, a potential contraction in real GDP shouldn’t be unexpected.
I literally got laid off effective immediately today along with 5 others. No shit the economy is on life support
Because it is….
Most of Canadians wealth is in over inflated real estate. That doesn’t help a country grow
Its scary what’s going on. Whenever I say were in big trouble, I get down voted. But, in my entire career I’ve never seen it so dead. My company, is one of the biggest spenders in Canada. We have 30 billion dollars of fully sanctioned and projects in the US and literally $0 here.
I mean recessions have objective metrics and we’re not in one.
The economic state is not great and likely won’t be for a long time. But this is just buzz words and a low info article.
We are? Hmm News to me
Better open the immigration flood gates again to increase demand of all assets and services before they have time to reset to sustainable levels I guess… /s
Who could have imagined, after 11 years of reckless Liberal spending, we’d be in this condition?
Even today, the economic genius Carney is still using bandaid solutions (GST rebate) just to show that he did something, where in fact 90% of Canadians will not see any of that rebate.
Billion dollars for buying guns. Check.
Yall broke
By all rights, those tariffs should have put us in recession 6 months ago. We’ve been resilient and holding steady. See what the spring brings before labeling it a recession.
This is what a decade plus under liberal economic policies gets us.
