🇨🇦 They call 1.6 percent growth resilience now

Canada gets slapped by tariffs, front-loads exports to fake a strong quarter, and the consultants call that durability. Deloitte bumped 2026 only because Q2 was flattered by rushed shipments into the U.S. before the hammer dropped, then quietly cut 2027 growth from 2 to 1.6 percent, as reported. Translation: the sugar high ends, the bill arrives, and Ottawa still pretends retaliatory tariffs and import bans are some masterstroke.

Mark Carney touring ports for the cameras will not fix a country that spent a decade hollowing out productivity, inflating housing, importing cheap labour, and praying consumer debt could substitute for national strategy. Business confidence falls, consumer confidence falls, exports stall, and the answer from the same managerial class is more diversification slogans and more state choreography. Canada is once again learning what happens when sovereignty is treated like a branding exercise and economic policy is run by globalist spreadsheet priests.
