Carney Warns Canada Data Will Be Uneven as Technical Recession Pressures Reforms in 2026

3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 2

Technical-recession data pushed Prime Minister Mark Carney to acknowledge that upcoming Canadian economic readings will be uneven as his government advances its policy overhaul.
Carney said the weakness partly reflects deliberate decisions by Ottawa, including cuts to immigration and restraints on government spending.
His comments frame the downturn as a near-term cost of reform rather than a shift away from the government's agenda.
The remarks underscore the challenge for Carney's government: defending slower growth while arguing that structural changes will justify short-term economic softness.
