 “Back in 2008, Mr. Harper was misleading. He said that we were not in a recession and in fact it turned out we were in the worst recession since the 1920s.”
Stephen Harper said Canada was not in recession as late as October 2008, but changed his outlook by the end of November 2008. The start date of the 2008 global recession in Canada is pegged at sometime between October 2008 and March 2009. Depending on the analysis, the denial came just before or right at the start of the recession.
