Families, seniors and young people are anxious about their finances and their future. The worst of all scenarios have crept into the minds of Canadian business: doubt and uncertainty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9405563\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Liberal <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> has the distinction of walking into the G7 meetings as the only leader to push their country into recession. Will he rethink his costly policies, which have caused this recession?</p>",

Les familles, les a\u00een\u00e9s et les jeunes s'inqui\u00e8tent pour leurs finances et leur avenir. Le pire des sc\u00e9narios \u2014 celui du doute et de l'incertitude \u2014 s'est insinu\u00e9 dans l'esprit des entreprises canadiennes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9405563\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> lib\u00e9ral a la particularit\u00e9 d'arriver aux r\u00e9unions du G7 en \u00e9tant le seul dirigeant \u00e0 avoir plong\u00e9 son pays dans la r\u00e9cession.
