Canada’s Economy Stalls: GDP, Steel Jobs and the Liberal Sales Pitch

The economic numbers are colliding with the political sales pitch. Jim Csek and Iain Burns examine flat monthly GDP, lowered growth forecasts and the pressure on Canadian households, questioning the message from Mark Carney and François-Philippe Champagne. The conversation covers consumer confidence, food insecurity, trade restrictions, dairy supply management and Stelco job cuts. They also compare Canadian steel pressures with U.S. investment announcements and discuss the role of energy and industrial materials in a modern economy.
