What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives reported that Ottawa lost approximately 15,000 jobs since March 2025, dropping from 705,500 to 690,700. This loss was greater than in other large Ontario cities affected by the trade war with the United States. David Macdonald, a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, stated that most of the job losses are due to cuts in the federal public administration, rather than the trade war.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The analysis highlights significant job losses in Ottawa, which saw the highest losses in Ontario over the last 18 months. While the trade war with the United States is a concern, the report indicates that federal public service cuts have been the more impactful driver of layoffs.

The situation involves government announcements from Ottawa in response to tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canadian goods.
