Comment: How odd. Whats that line about statistics being able to create any story one likes.  This piece about the fabulous Canadian economy...dont get me wrong...Im happy when the economy performs well....it benefits many to most of us...but I also just read another piece in the globe..about the worst job growth since the great recession....and that this portends a weak economy...possible recession and gosh...worse. Interesting...and I suppose good to get two perspectives....on the same topic and statistics....within days of each other. 

Other than these two articles revealing some essential truth about the use of statistics...they do show that there are different viewpoints...and that an economy can be strong in some aspects...less so in others.
