I keep insisting it's important to not interpret the recent reduction in the trend growth rate for a recession, and here's why: I remember what happened the last time we made that mistake.
It took us 20 years to recover, I don't want Canada to relive that lost generation.

@MarcLevesqueEco Non, je suis revenu de la pêche dimanche…..y faisait frette aussi dans la chaloupe. Mais la passion pour la F1 ou l’omble de fontaine permet de résister au froid ou la pluie.
Je valide que les prévisions économiques et/ou météorologiques de @MarcLevesqueEco sont d’une justesse redoutable: il avait prévu exactement la météo du Grand Prix de F1 de Montréal. Une chance, le spectacle était au rdv.
Face à l’Iran, les États Unis sont dans une impasse. Ils vont payer le prix de leur aventurisme que ce soit après une reprise des combats ou par la signature d’un mauvais accord, les deux pouvant d’ailleurs se conjuguer. Le plus étrange est que ce résultat était prévisible.
Réflexion du jour: je me demande pourquoi le Pape ne profiterait pas de son 45 minutes d’audience pour excommunier Marco, live sur YouTube, me semble que ça serait satisfaisant.
When I worked at the Library of Parliament, I was sad to learn that the Librarian didn't use the sword to go after those with overdue books. Shame really.
Ce syndrome se nomme Dunning-Kruger Effect….il y a bcp de gens dans tous les domaines, mais notamment en politique, qui l’ont contracté. J’en ai rencontré plusieurs. @MarcLevesqueEco@rstjac1032
What is most shocking about all of this is that a very large number of people are exceedingly confident in their understanding of something that they never bothered reading even slightly about.
They did not study the topic, they do not work in the field, they don't even do it as a hobby, but they legitimately believe that they somehow see something that all of us are missing.
Then, if you try to explain to them that they aren't quite applying the ideas they are trying to apply correctly, that there's legitimately something wrong about their views, that's arrogance...
I have seen the comments some people left you today. The level of arrogance is absolutely staggering and impossibly ironic given that they, themselves, call other people arrogant.
On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - April 17, 1982: Her Majesty signs something on Parliament Hill.
Also, and perhaps relatedly, Happy Birthday to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms! 🎂 :p
Bon enfin, quelque chose à se mettre sous la dent pour la nouvelle @DPB_PBO
GOUVERNEMENT CARNEY - Une mise à jour économique présentée le 28 avril #lapresseplus https://t.co/sg9ACRDzyG
Avec l'abandon de la taxe d'accise sur l'essence, le PM a revêtu son power suit de politicien, ses habits d'économiste viennent d'être rangés pour de bon.
« Gouverner, ce n’est pas seulement dire ce qu’on va faire. C’est faire ce qu’on a dit. » Très fort, malheureusement au Québec le verbe “faire” reste une affaire vide.

"Le ton compte", même la BduD adhère à mon motto: "les mots comptent, les chiffres parlent". @DPB_PBO
devrait s'en inspirer dans ses interventions.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.
He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.
France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.
Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.
