Financial Post: ‘Brutal result’: BMO

“The result … ranks as one of the worst (non-pandemic) months ever for jobs,” Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Economics, said in a note.


Job losses piled up in the private sector and full-time positions accounted for all of the decline. Almost no sector was spared, with losses recorded in retail and wholesale trade, construction and manufacturing and other industries.


Employment in manufacturing is now down a “heavy” 2.8 per cent year over year, Porter said.


All told, job growth has flatlined over the past year.


“No sense sugar-coating this one — this is simply a brutal result,” he said, singling out the near-zero job growth as a damning metric for the state of the economy.

For close to a decade now the govt has been telling Canadians that the taxation of energy does not contribute to food inflation.

On April 1, the govt will be increasing the industrial carbon tax.

The chart from the Food Professor shows the correlation to inflation and energy.

Do you believe the Liberals when they say the carbon taxes do not affect the prices of food in Canada?

We interviewed the Food Professor recently, use this link for the question we asked him on the effect of the Iran War on food prices.

We are going to cover the announcement of $100 million in scholarships for Indian students. This comes on the heels of PM Carney's trip to India.


Some critics say
1️⃣ Housing and cost-of-living pressure
Canada already has record numbers of international students and tight housing supply.

2️⃣ Fairness concerns
Some Canadians argue: Domestic students struggle with tuition

Yet large scholarships are being offered to foreign students.

3️⃣ Immigration debates
International students are often seen as a pathway to permanent residency, so the issue intersects with broader immigration policy discussions.

Share your thoughts and comments and we may use some in tomorrow's 9 am PST show.

The chart illustrates BC's electricity trade by month over the past 3 years.

The bottom is when we need to import.


The BC's govt policies that block energy projects to chase a net zero global agenda has BC to massive debt, fleeing capital both in $ and in human.

The second image is Canada's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.

Should BC change course or is the net zero agenda the nothing else matters objective?
