Once considered the engine of the Canadian economy, Ontario’s economic performance over the last two decades has been among the weakest in the country, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
“The decline of Ontario’s manufacturing sector in the 2000s, the 2008/09 recession and a tepid recovery have combined to create an extended period of economic weakness for the province,” said Ben Eisen, co-author of An assessment of Recent Economic Performance and Business Investment Growth in Ontario.
