We in Canada have not had a recession, but keep trying, so far we have heard 9-11, recession, I say toss in the last 5 for recessions for good measure.

Sorry. A contraction if you consider going from a +4 to +1 percent GNP growth rate in two years. Enough of a contraction (plus losing $ exchange rates) to put a lot out of business. Typically, the better survive, and the worse do not.

Sorry to tell you, even the professionals can't understand why we are not in recession, we have 2.5% inflation, in a recession, inflation goes down.
