Canada's GDP to face a slowdown
• By Editorial Staff
Canada's GDP growth is anticipated to slow down through late 2026 due to trade uncertainty and rising fuel costs. The country shed 68,000 jobs in September, with the unemployment rate reaching 6.5%. Draft documents indicate a potential Canada-EU response to the U.S.'s trade actions, and U.S. businesses are facing further economic strain from the ongoing trade war with Canada. Resources Minister Tim Hodgson stated that energy in the ground does not contribute to Canada's prosperity. U.S. officials are also monitoring Canadian involvement in the upcoming midterm elections.
