Real merchandise exports increased 4.3 per cent in January. Manufacturing shipments rose 2.2 per cent in January. Retail sales increased 1.4 per cent in January. The help wanted index rose 1 per cent in February. Real gross domestic product and market prices grew 2.9 per cent annual rate in the fourth quarter. The fact is that Canada is on a roll.
