Is the canadian economy in recession?

It is too early to answer this question according to the C.D. Howe Institute Business Cycle Council. The two quarter drop in real GDP (2025 Q4 & 2026 Q1) was of "very low amplitude", and it is subject to revision. Also, less than half of the industrial sectors registered a decline of activity. Add to that the evolution of the job market, then the diagnostic of a recession is premature.
