"The economy can make or break a prime minister"

Well. yes and no.

Harper who was about as popular with Canadians as an ingrown toenail managed to stay on after the 2008/09 (financial markets self-inflicted) recession by attacking the opposition with Tea Party like tactics/ads and bribing Canadians with borrowed $$$$$

Meaning; if Harper with the charisma of a jellyfish could pull it of, so can Trudeau.

A more viable article would have been on why we allow the Financial Markets to crash the system once every ten years or so.......
