It’s the second time in the last three months that the economy shrank.
Canada’s economy shrank in November, with GDP down 0.1%.
It’s the second time in three months that the economy has shrunk, yet another sign that the economy is weakening under Trudeau’s failed policies.
Retail spending fell 0.3%, while the energy industry was down 0.6%. Additionally, manufacturing fell by 0.5%.
