Yes, it was a better report than the Bank of Canada expected but the bottom line is still that growth under the Trudeau regime has been anemic. Even with the upward revisions to 2016Q1 and 2016Q2 growth rates the annual growth rate for 2016Q3 was 1.3%, which is simply pathetic from a leader who promised us much stronger growth than under Harper and is spending like a drunken sailor allegedly to achieve it. Dave now wonders if the 1.5% growth forecast for 2016Q4 isn’t much too pessimistic. Could be, but I’m not sure why he would think so. The Trudeau regime hasn’t strung together two quarters of solid growth yet: 2015Q4 was almost flat, and 2016Q2, even after revision, still registers the strongest quarterly drop in output since 2009Q2.
