Canada's balance of trade improves a little. But still not good.http://www.tradingeconomics.com/canada/balance-of-trade

Hopefully these improvements become a trend (not there yet) and we can get back to a balanced position. And hopefully the TPP dies with the US election and we can stay there...

Canada's GDP grew by 3.5% in the third quarter.

But our balance of trade still sucks.

Nothing that a couple of pipelines won't fix (just imagine if we could include a refinery).
Hopefully we won't all soon be camping in tents like the rest of the hippy eco-dupes.

As you may have figured out, I don't see export pipelines as anything other than a short term expediency. In the long run, exporting raw resources only leaves us with huge vulnerabilities and and a finite time period of results.

That said, there has been some positive momentum in manufacturing in November.
