Statistics Canada’s fall review, released October 28, reports that real GDP rose 0.8% in the second quarter of 2026, led by exports and household spending. Employment gains from May to July were followed by declines in August and September. This synthesis uses information available by October 9 and describes developments during the first half of 2026 and into the summer.
