Looking forward to having the Prime Minister join us for our Hill Day this afternoon. He’ll be giving a keynote address followed by having a fireside chat with our President and CEO @PerrinBeatty. #cdnpoli #manufacturing #economy

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won’t be in his front-and-centre seat in the House for question period his afternoon, but will instead hit the stage to deliver a keynote speech at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s annual ‘Hill Day' #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/news/trudeau-t…

Last week, I asked Desjardins chief economist Jimmy Jean why he didn't expect the Bank of Canada to hike rates today. He was right on the money.

I've written a blog with my colleague Tania Chaar on the top economic trends we're monitoring @ExportDevCanada. It's going to be a pivotal year in our COVID-19 recovery. I hope you find some value in our look-ahead piece! edc.ca/en/blog/edc-si…


I have a lot to say about this man. We've done some great work during his time at EDC. Steve is a talented professional who can send a good GIF in the process. He lifts his team up and doesn't take himself too seriously when in fact he is a brilliant individual. Good luck Steve!

Some personal news: After four years as Deputy Chief Economist, this is my last week at EDC. I’m proud of my work and what the Economics team has accomplished during my tenure. Several initiatives are worth celebrating, including these to, highlight a few: #CdnEcon

Great weather, great jobs report. Things are looking up but the outlook still remains uncertain... #CdnEcon

Good news #CdnEcon in February rebounded by 259,000 net new jobs (+1.4%), after falling by 266,000 over the previous two months. But still a long way to go: ~600k fewer people working than pre-pandemic & 406k working less than half of their usual hours www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Organic is good for you and for business. Demand for organics in Canada is growing quickly—more than 8% annually for the past four years. Take a look at our latest research. edc.ca/en/guide/canad… #CdnEcon

Canadian farmers are steadily expanding their organic acreage as they find new opportunities in the burgeoning demand for organic foods 📈



Recovery in reverse gear? The spike in COVID-19 cases drove our Canada Economic Recovery Tracker (CERT) down to -19% below pre-COVID-19 levels. Take a look at what else is driving it. edc.ca/en/guide/edc-c… #cdnecon

What a great story of pivoting in a crisis by putting customer needs first @relogix glad the team @ExportDevCanada could help

When the pandemic first hit, we were blindsided. We help offices use their space efficiently — which usually means helping them fit as many people as possible in there. Definitely not a strategy most companies were looking to deploy. @ExportDevCanada bit.ly/3d0TSTm



This acquisition just keeps getting more bizarre...

Happy Canada Day! It's also the day #CUSMA enters into force. With new trading rules for North America, this provides much needed certainty to Cdn exporters. Great to join @simisara980 on Mornings with Simi to discuss the new agreement. lnkd.in/evmtV2x #CdnEcon


Really insightful thread from @alizhd on implications of reduced consumer spending and increase in savings during an economic downturn. #CdnEcon

Something really interesting is happening in the 🇨🇦economy. Canadians are paying down debt and starting to save money even though interest rates at almost zero. This usually happens when there's a financial asset price bubble; in case of 🇨🇦, it's the housing bubble. Thread 👇
