We KNOW that the Canadian economy has contracted. However, the harper reform/alliance gov't continue to tell Canadians that "we are the best of the G8".
Today, I heard a Canadian banker mention how the Canadian banks are succeeding because they operate in OTHER countries who's GDP's are between 6-8%!!
Wait . . . what? There are countries with GDP's at 6-8%?
I had to look this up and here's what I found . . .
With regard to harper's claim of "Canada is doing the best of the G8". Here's the G8 and their number in the world of 217 listed countries and their GDP. Seems he's lied again.
96 Russia 3.6
137 Japan 2.2
138 United States 2.2
147 Canada 1.9
166 Germany 0.9
184 France 0.1
188 United Kingdom 0.2
207 Italy -2.3
harper is failing Canadians.
