Canada economic scorecard by prime minister

Compare GDP, inflation, unemployment, debt, population, imports, exports, and other official indicators by government term. Figures describe what happened during an office window; they do not prove sole political causation.

Context

This scorecard uses the best available office window in the archive seed. Some older rows remain year-bounded while day-level office dates are still being audited.

R.J. SimpsonTerm SnapshotOfficial Sources

R.J. Simpson is currently shown with the office window Dec 2023 - Present. Monthly, quarterly, and annual reference periods are attributed once, using the politician whose term contains that period's midpoint, so leadership handoffs are not double-counted.

Current snapshot cards prioritize official releases and attribute them to the selected politician’s term window. Historical rows derive their numeric summaries from official long-run series, while trade category rankings are still finishing audit coverage.
