text: The  Liberals have been saying that thanks to them Canada has the fastest growing economy in the G7. We are, until next July, when the UK ONS publishes a May 2018 real GDP(O) estimate, the only G7 country that publishes monthly real GDP estimates, but the US has a monthly index of industrial production. The annual increase for August was 1.2%, whereas the industrial production component of Canadian real GDP went up by 1.1%, so it seems that the American economy is now growing more strongly than ours is.
