The Canadian economy ended 2022 with a deeper slowdown than anticipated amid higher interest rates but appears to have gained momentum at the start of the new year.

On Tuesday, Statistics Canada said real gross domestic product was unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2022 after five consecutive quarters of growth.

The economic slowdown in the last three months of the year came despite higher household and government spending as well as a stronger trade position for Canada. The federal agency says the household savings rate was six per cent in the fourth quarter, up from five per cent the previous quarter. A preliminary estimate from Statistics Canada suggests the economy bounced back in January, posting 0.3 per cent growth in real GDP.But most economists expect the Canadian economy won’t be able to avoid a recession in the first half of the year as higher interest rates dampen spending.

Instant reaction: What the Street is saying after Canada’s surprisingly weak GDP reportThe Canadian economy recorded no growth in the final three months of 2022, massively underperforming expectations Canada is in trouble on many fronts. Healthcare is collapsing, many people cannot afford housing, the population is polarized & toxic, the country can’t defend itself and is behind in its NATO obligations. I won’t even mention the national debt. It is only surprising to anyone who has not been paying attention.

Not sure how inflation is expected to drop almost 3% by “mid-2023” with these mind-numbing energy costs. Truth is it won’t and our new (inflation) normal is exactly where it is now. Thanks to this climate “crisis” 👏🏻👏🏻
