Canada to face period of weak economic growth: OECD

Canada is in for a period of weak growth that will see the country lose its cherished place as the best economic performer among big industrial nations, the OECD said Monday in a fresh assessment of global prospects. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's latest composite leader indicator report, a forward looking assessment, projects that the data "continues to point to weak growth" in Canada, whereas it finds the recovery in the United States and Japan "firming."
