Summary
Canada’s economy is officially in a technical recession, with two quarters of shrinking GDP — but here’s the twist: the food sector is bucking the trend, staying resilient as people still need to eat. Grocery stores are busy, farmers are working, and exports are holding up. Yet, even this powerhouse is feeling pressure, especially in restaurants where rising costs and consumer caution are squeezing margins. The real concern? Long-term competitiveness. With uncertainty looming, food processors may delay growth, farmers may postpone investments, and investors may look abroad. The key isn’t blaming external factors — it’s fixing the internal issues that’ve been brewing for years. Canada’s agri-food sector can’t stay insulated forever; it needs a homegrown boost to stay a global leader. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
