Strong Canada quarterly growth beats expectations
Canada posts 3.7 percent annualized GDP growth in Q2 driven by a 3.7 percent export rebound and a 1 percent drop in imports. Exports surge in energy and farm products while global headwinds from U.S.-China trade and Brexit temper optimism. Economists note the strength largely reflects temporary trade effects rather than durable momentum.

Hatter named to wage panel in labour critic list
A Hatter with 12 years in restaurant service joins seven others on NDP labour critic Christina Gray’s proposed panel for minimum wage for servers. Elizabeth Thomson, 27, says current makeup favors high end tips, noting variations in tip income across cities and small towns. She emphasized cross party support and shared how child care and hours affect servers, and plans to press MLA Drew Barnes for backing.
