Canada is pursuing one of its most ambitious economic agendas in a generation. If successful, these efforts could reshape Canada’s economic trajectory and improve the country’s long-term growth outlook.
But ambition alone does not guarantee outcomes. Canada enters this period facing persistent deficits, rising debt-servicing costs, slower population growth, and mounting pressure on public finances.
Join Signal49 economists for an in-depth discussion exploring one of today’s most important economic questions: How can Canada deliver on its growth agenda while navigating an increasingly constrained fiscal environment?
Leveraging proprietary data available through our inFact Data Hub, we’ll examine the opportunities, trade-offs, and potential pathways that could define Canada’s economic trajectory over the coming years.
