caution: Conservative canard ahead!
not only did Canada enter the recession later than other G7 nations... its impact was milder and shorter than in other G7 countries, lasting but 7 months: Canada entered later; impact was mildest and shortest within G7 nations.
No doubt you would be giving a PM all the credit for that if they were a Liberal. Trudeau has had no recessions and no wars, just an economy that he claims is doing really well. So why do the deficits keep getting bigger every year?
