The Economy
In a debate about the economy, the Conservatives pointed out Canada has entered a recession, the only G7 country to do so, with the economy shrinking three out of the last four quarters. They noted this means jobs are at risk, paycheques don't go as far, housing is out of reach, and one in four Canadians are now food insecure.
