Canada just recorded a 0.3% GDP contraction — one of the steepest monthly declines since 2022. In this episode of True Patriot Love, we break down what’s really happening beneath the headlines and why this slowdown has been years in the making.
Host Paul is joined by Mike Wixson to unpack Canada’s shrinking productivity, falling GDP per capita, and what history tells us about escaping deep recessions.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why Canada’s GDP fell 0.3% in October and which sectors collapsed
• How government spending has been masking deeper economic weakness
• Canada ranking last among OECD countries for GDP growth forecasts
• The widening GDP per capita gap between Canada and the U.S.
• Lessons from South Korea, Iceland, Australia, Germany, and the Great Depression
