Are we in a recession?

from The Current

By one definition, Canada is now in a recession. But last week Canada also had a strong jobs report, and posted its first trade surplus in months. So what the heck is going on? We speak to three leading economic analysts — Charles St Arnaud from Servus Credit Union, Angelo Melino from the University of Toronto and the C.D. Howe Institute and Armine Yalnizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers.
