Well, might as well be the first one to say it...
NO SHIT !!!
"Breaking News - Canada officially in recession"...
That was the title Yahoo had on this article before they changed it back to...
Canada's economy contracts in second quarter as recession hits
The only news this is breaking is for the people that live in a cave somewhere, not seeing what goes on around them...
Yep, cheaper oil prices are hurting the oil industry here, no doubt. We are also, as consumers, being sucked dry at the pump though. Somebody somewhere is profiting like a thief...but who counts, right?
This article is smoke and mirrors. Anyone with two eyes that function can see that the economy isn't what it used to be. Breaking News; we've been on the downslope since the early eighties...
I've never seen so many empty business places in the Montreal area, never seen so many "To Rent or For Sale" business buildings in like, ever. But it's Breaking News. Fine.
And then the comments...oh you gotta love the comments section...filled with lightbulbs that are as bright as this article's breaking news attraction feature. They must get paid by clicks...
Anyway...
The first comment I read was some brainiac thanking God for Harper or it'd be worse than this. Nearly damn threw my monitor out the window...
Here's another winner...
Hmmm...let me think on that for a second....if I didn't read headlines....hmmmm......would I know?......let's see....do I really have to answer that stupid question?
So. Yeah. Anyway. There you have it. We are officially in recession. Before that, for the last few decades, we were just doing bad overall. String of bad luck I guess.
Businesses bankrupting right left and center were just unorganized and poorly managed ventures anyway, right? Yeah. That must be it. Facepalm.
Thank God for Yahoo News, if it wasn't for them, I'd be thinking that Canada is the richest country in the world and that we, the citizens, live in an Utopian financial paradise.
Oh wait...

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian economic activity shrank again in the second quarter, putting the country in recession for the first time since the financial crisis with the cheaper price of oil taking a toll as business investment fell and inventory accumulation slowed, data from Statistics Canada showed on Tuesday.

In my college days a very wise economics professor that taught us said "what causes a recession more than anything else".....his answer was "people believing that there was one".
In other words if you did not read headlines stating we are in a recession would you know that we supposedly are?
