OTTAWA, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Canada's economy recoiled for the second consecutive quarter of 2015, putting the country squarely in the throws of a recession, experts said.
Statistics Canada, the country's data-collection arm, said the country's economy declined by 0.1 percent in the second quarter, despite a marginal expansion in June by 0.5 percent. The slight uptick wasn't enough to jump-start the sputtering economy, the federal agency said. The results, posted Tuesday, are the country's weakest since the 2008 global financial crisis.
