Dispatches from the Maple Gulag Truck Stop

On my list of things I wish were real, a growing economy in Canada is just above flying cars. But it’s just not in the cards…

Forecasters had predicted gross domestic product (GDP) would expand by a more modest 0.5 per cent. The momentum was driven by Canada’s strengthening trade balance, with a decrease in imports and an increase in exports during the quarter, Statistics Canada said on Friday. It was also driven by increased capital spending by governments, as business investment remained flat.

The trucking industry is always the first into and the first out of a recession and not even Mark Carney’s deficits can change that.

  1. According to the Liberal Party of Canada’s Statscan,
    (therefore assume all numbers are revised upwards)
    … “Released: 2025-11-28 GDP increased 0.6% in the third quarter of 2025,
    after falling 0.5% in the second quarter.”

    It’s not merely the atrocious GDP and unemployment numbers (all lies revised upwards)
    Trudeau’s Legacy is cheap pot, national bankruptcy,
    and the fatal but intentional degeneration of society, culture, livelihoods, families, homes…

    He and his degenerates must be held ultimately accountable
    by We The People.

  2. Surprising surnames of some of the bad truckers. Thanks Justin!

    Why oh why did Carney get in given Trudeau’s horrendous track record? I suspect cheating. Same cast of useless characters.

    How did Carney get around 85% of the votes in every riding for the leadership contest?

  3. I can rephrase that. The Canadian economy grows 0.5 per cent in Canadian dollars. The Canadian dollar declines 2.0 per cent against world currencies. Typical Liberal budget.

  4. How do we get 0.6% growth in third quarter?

    July 0.2% up
    August 0.3% down
    September 0.2% up

    Total third quarter GDP is 0.1% up.
    Annualized = 1.2% GDP growth. (It will be far less)
