Canada's Economy Stumbles: Will GDP Report Bring Stability?

Canada's economy has been struggling, with weak growth at the start of the year and recession concerns rising after soft quarterly numbers. The Bank of Canada is trying to balance two major risks: low growth on one side and sticky inflation pressure on the other.
