Canada’s Economy: Better Than Expected or Worse Than It Looks?

from The Canadian Investor · host Braden Dennis & Simon Belanger

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Daniel Foch break down the increasingly confusing macro backdrop for Canadian investors. They discuss why Canada’s latest jobs report looked stronger than expected, but may actually make life harder for the Bank of Canada. They also compare today’s economy to the early 1990s recession, including the parallels around population growth, real estate, interest rates, employment trends, and household debt. Simon and Daniel also dig into bond yields, the risk of higher-for-longer rates, oil-driven inflation, consumer debt stress, rising delinquencies, and why Canadian households may be more vulnerable than the headline data suggests. They wrap up with a discussion on fiscal dominance, government spending, Canada’s trade challenges, and whether nation-building projects and AI infrastructure could provide a brighter long-term path for the economy.
