And the fourth-quarter number was half the government\u2019s first estimate of 1.4 per cent; economists had expected the revision to go the other way \u2013 and show stronger growth.<\/p>\n<p>Federal government spending and investment, clobbered by the shutdown, plunged at a 16.7-per-cent rate, hacking 1.16 percentage points off fourth-quarter growth.<\/p>\n<p>For all of 2025, GDP grew 2.1 per cent, solid but down from an initial estimate of 2.2 per cent and from 2.8 per cent in 2024 and 2.9 per cent 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, consumer spending grew at a 2-per-cent clip, down from 3.5 per cent in the third quarter and the 2.4 per cent the government had initially estimated. Business investment, excluding housing, increased at a healthy 2.2-per-cent pace, likely reflecting money being poured into artificial intelligence, but the increase was down from 3.2 per cent in the third quarter and from the 3.7-per-cent advance in the Commerce department\u2019s initial estimate.<\/p>\n<p>Exports fell at a 3.3-per-cent annual rate in the fourth quarter, a bigger drop than the government first estimated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/economy\/jobs\/article-canada-jobs-report-unemployment-rate-february\/\">Canadian jobs number was horrendous<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Canada\u2019s economy unexpectedly shed 83,900 jobs in February, driving the unemployment rate up to 6.7 per cent and showing the extent to which trade uncertainty is continuing to weigh heavily on the country\u2019s labour market.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in unemployment was fuelled by a significant drop in full-time jobs, which plunged by 108,000 last month, Statistics Canada said Friday in a report. The number of workers in the private sector fell by 73,000, while part-time employment held steady from January.<\/p>\n<p>The largest decline in jobs was seen in wholesale and retail trade, which lost 18,000 jobs last month, a decline of 0.6 per cent. This sector has been struggling for months, shedding a cumulative 52,000 positions since October. Manufacturing and construction also took a hit, with a combined 21,200 jobs lost in those industries last month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='8'><strong>HIMIPref&trade;
