Canada’s economic performance | Mar 27, 2026
A new report from the OECD projects Canada’s economic growth will slow to 1.2% in 2026, down from 1.7% last year.
Here’s what the data is showing:
• Slowing economic growth
• Weak business investment
• Declining productivity
• Housing still out of reach for many families
• Over half of Canadians not in their ideal home
• Rising food costs and growing food bank use
• Canada falling behind the U.S. in economic performance
• Fewer opportunities, especially for young workers
These aren’t opinions. These are the trends being reported.
So let’s keep it simple: Do you feel things are improving… or do you think Canada needs a new policy direction provided by the Conservatives?
