Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/…. #cdnecon

During the so-called decade of federal 'attacks on oil,' Alberta oil giants set records for production and profits, writes Jim Stanford. So why is the average Albertan not getting their

How do carbon taxes affect food prices? In our latest paper, @dr_jen_winter and I analyze both direct and indirect impacts across the entire food supply chain: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pape… It's the most detailed exploration of CTaxes and food yet! 🤓 #cdnecon #cdnpoli

With all the goings on, there's probably no interest in why the 2023-24 deficit grew from $40B to $62B. Just in case: ~75% due to contingent liabilities related to Indigenous rulings/awards; rest due to lower tax revenues. Details: budget.canada.ca/update-m…. #cdnecon #cdnpoli

The federal Chief Actuary has released their analysis of what Alberta would receive should it exit the CPP. It's clear and accessible; give it a read: www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en/oca/oca-... TL;DR: The Government of Alberta's 53% share is rejected. I'll explain. #cdnecon #cdnpoli

Certain partisans have been citing Canada's performance on per capita GDP as evidence of a supposed 'lost decade' and economic mismanagement. In @irpp.org's Policy Options, I deconstruct this arbitrary and misleading statistic, in two parts. #cdnecon #cdnpoli. /2

We’re in a trade war, we’re under annexation threat, and Avi Lewis goes on 🇺🇸’s Democracy Now this morning to bash Carney & campaign ad for himself. Saying PMMC has had a whole year to diversify our economy. He’s clueless about what it takes to run #CdnEcon He is so unfit for the moment we’re in.

Not since the Great Depression have Canada-US tariffs risen as broadly or as sharply. Uncertainty is now double the COVID peak. My latest for @TheHubCanada roughly quantifies the effect on investment and employment. It’s not pretty: thehub.ca/2025/03/04/... #cdnecon #cdnpoli

Lots of chatter from those in the 'Canada is broken' camp over claims that Canada is now 'poorer' than Alabama, on the basis of per capita GDP comparisons. See my explainer for @irpp.org on why this claim is false: policyoptions.irpp.org/20…. #canlab #cdnecon /2
The perils of per capita GDP: No, Canada is not poorer than Alabama

The perils of per capita GDP: No, Canada is not poorer than Alabama

This is the second of a two-part analysis of Canada’s GDP per capita. The first part can be found here. Some business and political commentators cite a growing gap between the per capita GDP of Canada...
