The economy has been growing recently in spite of Trudeau, not because of him:

- Stimulus allocation and disbursements were late and usually takes longer to take its (moderate) effect.
- Oil & gas sector recovered off a very low level - count that as growth
- Real estate bubble was accounting for a disproportionate amount of growth
- Lower dollar finally kicking in with improved exports
- Companies in most sectors had been sitting on cash for years since the Great Recession and finally this pent-up demand for capital investment improved

What's coming:
- ever increasing carbon tax
- bump in payroll tax
- small business: new retained earnings and investment taxes, restrictions on dividend taxes

If the roll-out of these economic impediments coincides with an inflection in the business cycle (i.e. downturn), then look out.  And Trudeau will be the scapegoat in 2019.
