Japan in the grip of recession due to decline in GDP

A decline in Japan's GDP has plunged it into recession and it has lost its place as the world's third largest economy. Japan's GDP has dropped to $4.2 trillion, while Germany's GDP has overtaken it at number three at $4.5 trillion. Experts say that the lack of momentum in Japan's economy is likely to continue as there is no major factor for growth. Meanwhile, the UK economy has also faced a slowdown in the last six months of 2023, posing a challenge for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as elections are due at the end of 2024. Sunak promised voters last year to boost the economy. His Conservative

The price increase will add another 3.3 cents to a litre of gasoline and about 2.9 cents to a cubic metre of natural gas.

But the move to lift carbon pricing from heating oil for three years, along with overpayments last year, mean people in all Atlantic provinces except New Brunswick will see a dip in the amo

Poilievre says of B.C. Premier Eby that 'one man can't block' pipeline proposal

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians, including British Columbians, want a new oil pipeline and Premier David Eby can't be allowed as one man to block the project. Poilievre says the country can't wait for complete agreement on the idea, calling it a "basic fact" that a new pipeline is needed. Eby has repeatedly said there's no point discussing or supporting a pipeline that is being pushed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and others, until there is a proponent for such a project. Poilievre, speaking in Calgary, says that's a "chicken and egg problem," because the reason there's
