Let’s not mince words. Canada is in a recession.

June 2, 2026

Calling it “technical” doesn’t change what Canadians are experiencing. The economy has shrunk in 3 of the last 4 quarters, including two in a row.

Other G7 countries face the same global pressures, yet none are in recession.

This is the result of bad policy choices: higher taxes, anti-development laws, and growing deficits. Household savings are at two-year lows, food bank use has doubled since 2020, and 1/4 Canadians is now food insecure.

Excuses don’t fix economies. Canada needs a reset that restores growth, investment, and affordability.

Greg McLean joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to talk about the recession, what’s driving it, and how we get Canada back on track.
