RE:RE:INFLATION BACK OVER 4% IN CANADAI think I'm with you and the central bank confirms in December that we're officially in a recession since around the end of summer. Next retail fins are going to be pretty bad, it's not for nothing that stocks of Canadian Tire, Aritzia, Reitmans and the gang have all been tanking, it's because people know their sales are bad right now. I work in the retail sector myself (not for a public company) and things have slowed down to a crawl. Retail sector gets hit first.
