Meanwhile Canada added 75,000 new jobs in July. Perhaps Trump's tariff scheme is not working so well after all.

I have been very critical of the Federal gov (less so under Carney) and I will admit this job report actually was very good as it wasn't just majority public sector hirings which was very common under Trudeau:

Private-sector jobs: +58,000 jobs [wealthprof...ssional.ca], [retail-insider.com]

Government/public-sector jobs:-27,000 jobs (a decline) [wealthprof...ssional.ca], [retail-insider.com]

Self-employed: +44,000 jobs [wealthprof...ssional.ca], [retail-insider.com]

Part-time jobs: +36,600 jobs [money.usnews.com], [ca.finance.yahoo.com]

No one with at least two brain cells to rub together thought the tariffs was going to make anything better.
