From the Industry | Mar 2, 2026
Conservatives are proposing a clear, tariff-free Auto Pact that protects Canadian auto workers, strengthens North American production, and prevents our market from being undercut by heavily subsidized Chinese imports. Canada sells 20 times more to the U.S. than to China. A serious auto policy recognizes that reality. This is about moving forward with practical policies Canadians have been asking for — focused on jobs, stability, and a stronger future for our auto sector.
Negative Growth | Mar 1, 2026
Statistics Canada reports that Canada’s GDP shrank by 0.2% in Q4 of 2025. We were the only G7 country with negative growth.
Since March 2025: 35,400 fewer Canadians are working; 32,800 manufacturing jobs lost; and EI recipients up 12.9% (+65,000). These are official numbers.
When the economy contracts, families feel it. Is this government on the right track?
