## Resource

Canada’s economy may be in a technical recession after two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, sparking political firestorm as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre blasts PM Mark Carney for failing to deliver the fastest-growing economy in the G7. While some economists downplay the severity, citing temporary factors like government spending cuts, Poilievre amplifies alarm with rising insolvencies, job losses, and soaring food bank usage in Toronto — painting a picture of a struggling middle class. With the Bank of Canada likely holding rates steady, the nation braces for a prolonged economic tug-of-war. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
