Inquiring minds want to know: what’s in it for court water carriers who engage in mindless cheerleading for the government of the day? It’s like the scene in The Holy Grail where the armless knight declares, “‘Tis but a scratch!”
Luckily, economists say there is more to a recession than just two quarters of negative growth — namely the 3 Ds — depth, duration and dispersion.
This decline is not even close on depth — amounting to just 0.6 per cent annualized over the two quarters, “barely a scratch in GDP terms,” said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in a note.

Gullible’s Travels.
The Janet Yellen school of redefining failure as success has invaded Canada.
“…what’s in it for court water carriers…”?
I’m guessing six-figure salary and some -sweet- investment opportunities.
You know all those two-to-eight million dollar houses in Toronto? Guess who lives in them. Uh huh. Court water carriers. Nobody else can conjure up that kind of money.
FILTHY LIBERALS
The worst of the worst SHORT “Economists” is our PM.
2 Days before the announced RECESSION, Short Goalie Carney said “Canada has the 2nd strongest Economy in the G7”
It must have been a rough Wed and Thursday. Also, Short Carney may have been distracted by the May 31 VAGINA and VULVA Day in the House of Commons. I would “Shave it down” to a half day of Vulva and Vagina..
