Canada Lost 42,000 Jobs in August, Surprising Economists

While America’s economy is flourishing, Canada’s Socialist economy is floundering. This is why PM Mark Carney has picked a needless and unwinnable fight with President Trump. So he can deflect from his atrocious record. Canada is a joke.

🚨 President Trump just warned Mark Carney that running against America is a temporary high.
He said Canadian politicians love making Trump “the enemy” until their economy breaks.
Then the politics get worse than anything a Canadian leader has ever faced.

Trump claims Canada wouldn’t exist if the US cut off all trade with its northern neighbour.

“They do 95% of their business with us,” he says. “So, if I say we’re not going to trade, that means 95% of their business gets wiped out. I don’t know what they’d do.” pic.twitter.com/hs90kTcDKu

Canada lost 42,000 jobs in August, surprising economists

By CBC, Sep 4th, 2026

Canada’s labour market stalled in August, losing 42,000 jobs, Statistics Canada said Friday. The decline surprised some economists, who had predicted a fourth-consecutive month of gains since May.

The unemployment rate held steady at 6.4 per cent last month, the agency said.

The latest Labour Force Survey shows the number of public sector workers fell by 20,000, declining for a third consecutive month. Jobs were little-changed in the private sector.
