Canada’s economic mood has improved, with confidence edging closer to its annual peak as households grow more sanguine about their personal finances and job prospects. Yet optimism remains restrained. Expectations for the broader economy continue to lag, suggesting that recent gains have not dispelled underlying uncertainty. Canadians appear less anxious than before but not yet convinced that stronger conditions are firmly at hand.
