This is an amazing tool! The Canadian Chamber of Commerce put together this amazing interactive to show how tariffs hit different cities in different ways. The data in this tool is really cool. The interactive is well done and fun to play around with.

The business insights published on-line by the Business Data Lab are an invaluable resource for SIR Corp. Since being introduced to this work late last summer I frequently reference a number of pages for some of the most useful and up-to-date data on the Canadian economy and the Canadian business environment. It has become my first go-to place to search for the latest data. I also value the insights that you publish form time to time on some of this data. Please keep up all of this good work.

I’m a partner at a Saskatchewan-based private equity firm, and we like to consolidate some of the surveys that give a sense of forward-looking sentiment. I like all the tools, but use the Business Conditions Terminal the most. There’s lots of good information out there, but I find this is one of the better consolidators of economic information for Canada—it’s easy to use and concise. Thanks again for creating the platform and tool.

The Business Data Lab has been a very useful tool for the Halifax Chamber. The data they provide us on business conditions in Halifax allow our Policy team to monitor key local economic trends. These insights help support our Chamber’s advocacy through informed analysis and educate our members on conditions in the region. The team at the BDL are not only very skilled at data management but are very responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend partnering with the BDL.

We are grateful for the creation and evolution of Business Data Lab as a critical tool for decision making and calibrating efforts in the private, public and third sectors. The pandemic revealed a significant information gap that was costly to our national economy and every community. Access to timely and relevant data and insights is the way for us to be competitive, ensure inclusivity, grow our economy, and address our biggest challenges.
