The Daily — Labour Force Survey, August 2025

Employment falls for second month in a row
Employment fell by 66,000 (-0.3%) in August, extending the decline recorded in July (-41,000; -0.2%). The employment decrease in August was mostly in part-time work (-60,000; -1.5%). Full-time employment was little changed in August, following a decline in July (-51,000; -0.3%).

Unemployment rate rises to 7.1% in August
The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points to 7.1% in August. Since January 2025, it has increased 0.5 percentage points. The unemployment rate in August was the highest since May 2016 (excluding 2020 and 2021).

We are very clearly into a recession, unemployment is going up, costs aren't going down, and it's a safe bet with many new tariffs just hitting now that things will get worse before they get better. 

Carney has made a series of bad choices and as a result he failed to 'supercharge' the economy as promised. And as people lose jobs and see things get worse i doubt his popularity will go up. 

He's wasted his first 6 months in office and even if he started to realize that now and started to do the right things it's too late to have an effect in the immediate future.  

He was not ready for the job. He thought he could do it relying on advisors. The same advisors who advised Justin.

Yes, you Ttump supporters will always be remembered as the stupidest of the stupid, particularly the Canadian ones. And to think you even lied and said the child he raped recanted her story. There was no depth you wouldn’t sink to for him.
