from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview
Is Canada in recession — or just stuck?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Turley-Ewart, columnist with The Globe and Mail, about Canada’s slowing economy, rising affordability pressures, and why so many Canadians feel they are falling behind.Turley-Ewart argues that while economists may debate whether Canada is technically in recession, the lived experience for most Canadians is clear: inflation has outpaced household budgets, debt remains high, savings are thin, and the economy has lost momentum.The conversation explores:Why many Canadians feel they have not caught up with inflationWhat “technical recession” means compared with everyday economic painWhy business creation and entrepreneurship are weakening in CanadaThe need for tax reform and regulatory reformWhy Canada needs higher-paying private-sector jobsWhether Mark Carney can deliver on promises to grow the economyAnd why massive deficits cannot continue indefinitelyLeDrew and Turley-Ewart discuss whether Canada is merely stalled — or facing a deeper economic problem that requires urgent action from Ottawa.As households struggle with rising costs, job insecurity, debt, and weak growth, this interview asks whether Canada’s leadership understands the scale of the challenge — and whether the country can get moving again.
