61 m. ago Ontario expected to fall into recession this year as a result of U.S. tariffs

There's been a lot of talk about a forthcoming recession in Canada since Wells Fargo forecasted that the nation will "enter a technical recession this year," but anyone who's been staying abreast of our languishing economic trajectory is well aware that we've already been in a per-capita recession for many months.With unemployment continuing to rise alongside the cost of living, the U.S. slapping tariffs on Canadian imports has come at possibly the worst time, and will be a key factor edging us into recession proper.Of course, some industries and geographical areas will feel the effects more than others, depending on how things end up playing out in the hands of a flip-floppy President Trump.

As fanciful as Premier Doug Ford's notion to combat the GTA's legendary and worsening traffic by tunnelling under Highway 401 may be, the seemingly impossible infrastructure project just took another step toward becoming a reality this week.On Monday, the Province of Ontario issued an official Request for Proposal for a Feasibility and Congestion Relief Study on the mammoth undertaking, inviting interested parties to submit their bids to provide a comprehensive report on the scope (and practicality) of the work.While experts have estimated the cost of such a tunnel to be in the ballpark of a staggering $55 billion — requiring potentially 20 years, and countless traffic disruptions along the east-west freeway, to complete — Ford's team seems intent on pushing ahead and making the province home to what they call "one of the largest, most ambitious infrastructure projects in the world."Th...
