The experts promised us a “barnburner” of a first quarter for Canada’s economy, and the economy delivered.
Canada’s GDP grew at a 3.7-per-cent pace in the first three months of 2017, more than tripling the U.S.’s 1.2-per-cent pace, StatsCan reported on Wednesday. Household spending was one of the largest contributors to growth, increasing at a 4.3-per-cent pace. Auto sales were particularly strong. But, as CIBC economist Avery Shenfeld noted, consumers’ savings dropped at the same time, suggesting Canadians spent their savings to consume this quarter — a reality that can’t continue forever. Investment in residential construction helped Canada's economy grow at a breakneck speed in the first quarter of 2017. Canada’s housing boom, which seems to be on shaky ground lately, was also a major contributor. Business investment in housing grew at a 3.7-per-cent pace, more than double the 1.5-per-cent rate in the last quarter of 2016. If there was bad news to be found in the report, it was in exports, which slid 0.1 per cent on the back of a 0.5-per-cent decline in service exports. However, most analysts expect the current rapid pace of economic growth to slow in the coming quarters. A new forecast from ratings agency Moody's predicts Canada's growth for all of 2017 will come in at around 2.2 per cent, behind the U.S. and second-best among G7 countries. The “modest pace" of global economic expansion "should continue barring a negative move toward increased protectionism in the U.S.,” Moody’s said. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

A multimillion-dollar Astrodome project likely has one fewer obstacle in its path to moving forward. The bill that would require a public vote on plans to repurpose the Astrodome died in the Texas Legislature this session, the Houston Chronicle reports. The Senate approved the bill in late March, but it then sat in the House County Affairs Committee until the end of the regular session on May 29, per the Chronicle. Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to call for a special session, but the priority likely…
