The country\u2019s GDP climbed 0.6% in Q3 2025, erasing the 0.5% decline in Q2\u2019s downward revision. That works out to 2.6% annualized growth, nearly 5x the consensus market estimate. At the headline level, this is incredible growth for a country that\u2019s positioning itself as hard hit. The details were less impressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>StatCan attributes the rise to a stronger trade balance and government capital spending. Meanwhile domestic demand was flat, with stagnant business investment and household consumption pulling back. In plain english, this doesn\u2019t show a broad-based recovery\u2014but accounting mechanics and public-sector spending doing the heavy lifting. The latter also isn\u2019t going where most Canadians would expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Canadian Q3 Growth Was Entirely Superficial Accounting Mechanics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/betterdwelling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Canadian-GDP-Surged-Entirely-Due-To-Superficial-Accounting-Mechanics%E2%80%94GDP-Q3-2025.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1122\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/betterdwelling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Canadian-GDP-Surged-Entirely-Due-To-Superficial-Accounting-Mechanics%E2%80%94GDP-Q3-2025.png?resize=1122%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/betterdwelling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Canadian-GDP-Surged-Entirely-Due-To-Superficial-Accounting-Mechanics%E2%80%94GDP-Q3-2025.png?w=1122&amp;ssl=1 1122w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/betterdwelling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Canadian-GDP-Surged-Entirely-Due-To-Superficial-Accounting-Mechanics%E2%80%94GDP-Q3-2025.png?resize=721%2C422&amp;ssl=1 721w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/betterdwelling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Canadian-GDP-Surged-Entirely-Due-To-Superficial-Accounting-Mechanics%E2%80%94GDP-Q3-2025.png?resize=768%2C449&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Source: StatCan. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The surge in growth was almost entirely due to a decline in global imports. Imports contributed 0.7 points to GDP\u2019s 0.6 points of growth\u2014that\u2019s correct, they added more than total GDP growth, the rest of the economy is just holding it back. Once again, that sounds great but import\u2019s contribution to GDP is based on net trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Net trade is the balance of exports minus imports, with fewer imports than exports being ideal. Countries prefer exports to rise faster than imports, so GDP contribution prefers to see exports outpace imports. However, we just saw a phenomenon known as import compression: Imports fell abruptly due to households pulling back on spending, resulting in a sharp drop against mild exports. If that sounds less than ideal\u2014congrats, you\u2019re one smart cookie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This skew is further amplified by two issues\u2014seasonal adjustments and the US government shutdown. Since seasonal adjustments account for predictable and recurring patterns, they can over or understate volatility during periods of structural shocks like recession, trade war, or a new season of Dexter (kidding). This isn\u2019t a problem that StatCan introduces or anything like that, but an odd phenomenon that only became clear by researchers after 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Driver of Growth Subject To Large Revisions, Warns StatCan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And just to make life extra spicy\u2014StatCan is stuck estimating and modeling both import and export data. Impacting the import side, the CBSA\u2019s new customs and revenue management (CARM) system has produced delays in their ability to finalize data. We reached out to StatCan, who confirmed the timelines are improving but still result in larger than usual revision pre-CARM.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImpacts tend to be largest in the most recently published month, particularly within customs basis data,\u201d explained StatCan communications officer Cristobal D\u2019Alessio.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis on customs basis data is the takeaway, as it\u2019s foundational to import data. StatCan further explained the revisions are applied to the prior data month, with each monthly release. September 2025\u2014one third of Q3\u2014won\u2019t be finalized until December 11, 2025.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from StatCan said they plan to release further details on CARM on that day. It\u2019s unclear how they knew CARM technical documents were on my Christmas wishlist, but I digress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the export side is the US government shutdown that threw a totally different problem into the mix. StatCan had to estimate data for a destination that traditionally represents 75% of Canada\u2019s exports. Then seasonally adjust it\u2026 during a trade war, and probably while having to go uphill in the snow both ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>StatCan explicitly warned the shutdown will require another larger than usual revision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No concrete data on imports or exports\u2014what a time to be alive, eh? I feel like it\u2019s also important to emphasize StatCan was tasked with making a virtually impossible estimate here. This isn\u2019t intentional, but roadblocks to data access from other agencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Canada Goes Arms Up? Government Spending On Weapons Soars<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The only other significant driver of growth was gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), the assets invested by business and government. It wasn\u2019t businesses fueling the growth, which came in flat. The growth was entirely fueled by the government expanding 2.9% in Q3. Even more surprising here is this was almost entirely driven by spending on weapons, which grew 82% in Q3\u2014equivalent to 89% of total dollar growth across fixed capital investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nope, you didn\u2019t just accidentally scroll into a report on North Korean GDP. Canada\u2019s surge in spending on weapons was equivalent to more than 1 in 6 dollars added to GDP in Q3. Either the boost was temporary and the impact was minimal, or the country\u2019s plan for economic growth just shifted from going all in on housing to weapons. Ironically, they both share a similar problem\u2014weapons are ideally just made and sit. They don\u2019t add to future economic capacity in the same way that tradeable goods and services do, as they\u2019re non-income, non-market assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s latest GDP is an excellent example of why headline data doesn\u2019t tell the whole story. Headline data shows substantial growth, but it doesn\u2019t resemble what\u2019s happening under the hood. The vast majority of growth was fueled by import compression, typically a sign of weak domestic demand skewed by the seasonal adjustment model and estimated data that couldn\u2019t reflect reality. Meanwhile the growth in fixed capital doesn\u2019t reflect a booming economy, but highlights business stagnation.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>You Might Also Like<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canadian economy expanded faster than analyst forecasts, but it isn\u2019t what it seems.
