Canadian economy held up better than expected under U.S. tariffs, IMF report says

[shockedcanadian]

I never blamed Trump for Canadas economic failures, this has all been on policies in Canada that drive our best talent out of the country and via abuses of civil liberties lead to our demise. In addition to massive and bloated government employment which pays better and is far less efficient.

We've been living on debt and have record homeless. That is what criminal apparatuses akin to the Soviet system in the 1980s leads to.

Ottawa should recommit to debt-to-GDP anchor, IMF report says

OTTAWA - A new report by the International Monetary Fund says the Canadian economy has held up better than expected under the trade shock from U.S. tariffs.
The report says the impact of the trade dispute was mitigated by exemptions under the free trade agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico, but employment and investment have still weakened.

It says lower commodity prices, softer external demand, slowing immigration and tariff uncertainty have added to the drag.

Looking ahead, the IMF says a risky outlook has become more balanced than earlier in the year, but uncertainty is expected to remain high.

The report, which is part of the IMF’s regular review of the Canadian economy, says the federal government’s budget rightly pivots toward higher public investment, though it says a clear debt-to-GDP anchor should remain central to Canada’s fiscal framework.

It says fiscal policy should continue to be measured, counter-cyclical, and flexible.

Canada is not going to be hugely affected by the tariffs; we are.

We've lose another 9,000 full time jobs.

Ontario is collapsing as I type this. The result of cowardly "leadership". From municipalities to the premier.

And you still have it better than we do here. Check the record instead of repeating right-wing junk.

You are poorly informed unfortunately.

There is a reason Trump is aggressive, especially against Ontario, he feels a sense of righteousness and he KNOWS what types of cowards we have here. They genuinely go after the vulnerable who were born and raised here, but discarded by abusers.

Trump is surely well informed and doesn't feel an obligation to reward vicious politicians.

It's his middle name.

shockedcanadian is the most useless lying piece of shit you can imagine. We are much, much better off here than in the USA. We have a higher standard of living, better health, realistic gun control, and we genuinely care about our neighbours here.

Nobody is being persecuted by CSIS, or the police, regardless of what he says. Life may not be perfect, but at least we have a government which is responsive to the people, at the federal level at least.

Doug Ford, our provincial Premier is the worst kind of populous Conservative and a former big fan and supporter of Donald Trump.

He's also corrupt, stupid and incompetent, but our provincial Liberals are hopeless and out of touch. I actually considered voting for the NDP during the last election, but I voted for the independent candidate instead. And she won.
