Canada Falls Further Behind U.S. Economy | Vancouver News

Canada’s economic gap with the U.S. has exploded over the past 25 years, with GDP per person now over $23,000 behind — up from just $10,000 in 1999. The Fraser Institute’s new study reveals Canada’s lag isn’t just about GDP: incomes, jobs, and productivity are all falling further behind. U.S. labor productivity surged while Canada’s stalled, and business investment plummeted relative to America’s. The decline accelerated around 2014 — when Canada began underperforming despite previously keeping pace. Experts blame rising regulation, tax hikes, and ballooning debt, urging fiscal restraint and balanced budgets to reverse course.
