A little background on this report, each Sunday I go into the Info/Rankings tab and do research on the eCanadian economy. I note all of the stats as they are and log them and compare them to previous weeks.
Editorial
Canada is whole. With peace, the war machine slows down, like an elephant at a zoo shifting its head left to right out of boredom, longing to rampage free on the savannah to feast on wild grass, rather than plod within its tight quarters, passing time. We are on the precipice of some real economic struggles. Gun inventories are mounting and with battles at a premium, wellness management is going to be difficult. Economic efficiency is paramount in peace times.
Stats to watch for over the next week are employment. How many gunsmiths can you keep around with no wars to wage?

Canadian Economy
The population of eCanada grew with the liberation of Manitoba and Nunavut (5,383 v 5,053 v 5,038 v 4,921). The other half of our Brolliance slipped from 24k to 22k, not sure why of the backslide, perhaps fleeing eHuns. At 5,400, eCanada is on the cusp of cracking the top 10 which would be a notable achievement.
Unemployment was up (41.6% v 40.2% v 40.2% v 40.4
There were 124 companies added to the eCanada Chamber of Commerce over the last 7 days bringing the total to 1,070, the bulk of which are pick-ups from Manitoba and Nunavut. The ratio of employees to companies dropped (2.9 v 3.8 v 3.9 v 3.9) for the fourth week running which shows that we are not employing our capital, or labour any more efficiently. I acknowledge that the number of companies includes some non-operating ones however we are comparing apples-to-apples week-over-week and we are not getting better. Green Hawk wrote a great article about the ratio of employees to companies, please consider buying a company before you start one, please consider selling your company at a reasonable price, or sweetheart price, if you are no longer interested in it.
The average salary improved ($7.17 v $6.89 v $7.21 v $7.20) which flies in the face of the deflation observed over the past few weeks, however, I think that labour is stabilizing while commodity and product prices continue to tighten. The rate of deflation is decreasing which is a sign that things are stabilizing. Product and commodity markets remain very competitive and this is leading to more competitive wages for the GM's to remain profitable.
The per capita income this week grew (0.38 v 0.20 v 0.10 v 0.17) and shows that things are looking up, twice as bright as last week.
The GDP rebounded (2,041.74 v 1,021.60 v 505.78 v 833.84) which is fantastic! The population is growing, the number of companies is increasing, and now the wealth we share is shrinking.
Monthly exports grew (225.68 v 151.31 v 140.44 v 129.96) while imports remained flat (nil v nil v nil v 45.29) leaving a trade balance of 225.68 (v 151.31 v 140.44 v 84.67). The trend in the trade balance is nice and must continue if we are to see our GDP increase, recall that our GDP was over 2,600G for the week ended Oct 4/09. Surely there are higher priced markets for our products so that we can avoid the fierce competition in the domestic markets. Accessing foreign markets will take competitive pressures of the domestic market and generate more wealth for eCanada.
Our exports as a percentage of GDP dropped again this week (11.1% v 14.8% v 27.8% v 15.6
Personally, I advocate a licensing subsidy from the government equal to half the cost of an export license for proven business operators. This was part of my congressional campaign platform but it appears I will not be afforded the opportunity to act on it...
...in November.
eCanada experienced deflation (-3.2% v -27.5% v -60.5% v -49.7

😵which is good considering the population grew. I surmise that we picked up some unemployment in Manitoba and Nunavut with the liberation there this week.
There were 124 companies added to the eCanada Chamber of Commerce over the last 7 days bringing the total to 1,070, the bulk of which are pick-ups from Manitoba and Nunavut.

😵. Our country is too abundant in resources for this to be happening.

😵. It's slowing down its descent however I am fearful of the lack of war and the deflation it will cause. Don't be surprised if it slips to -10% before it gets positive again.
