I suspect that our respective economies will go into recession at some point in the not too distant future. I don't know about Canada, but the U.S. government did quite a bit of debt spending to artificially stimulate the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic years. That heated things up, the numbers looked good on paper, but it didn't represent real economic growth. There's always a cooling off period afterward.



It's sort of like getting paid on a Friday and then going on a bender over the weekend. It's party on and let the good times roll for awhile. Monday morning always comes. It's time to get back to work, you're flat assed broke, and sick as a dog with a splitting hangover. It takes awhile before you start to feel like yourself again.

See how it plays. Winter is usually a slow time of year anyway. Maybe things will pick back up again in the spring. There's always hope.
