## Resource

Canada’s economy hit pause in Q1, with GDP flat—technically signaling a recession after two consecutive quarters of contraction.

And when measured by industry instead of spending, growth actually showed mild improvement. The real picture? Still unfolding. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
