A banker is supposed to be good with numbers, yet here is the Prime Minister's track record: every family will be spending an extra $1,000 on groceries in 2026, business capital investment has fallen for five consecutive quarters, and Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7. This record makes us the only G20 country in recession.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9423692\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> is not being accountable to Canadians.
