Political preferences aside, it seems to me Canadians are more optimistic about our economy these days.
I talked to a financial expert about that last week, and he agreed.
Well, interesting then that the latest Bloomberg-Nanos Canadian Confidence Index "shows a continued improvement in sentiment among Canadian consumers".
The index shows growing optimism about our economy, particularly on the Prairies and in Ontario.
Perceptions of job security and personal finances have improved, and, in a nutshell, the numbers show Canadians are feeling more confident about their economic prospects.
Nanos research conducted the recent survey. They talked to 1,081 Canadians via random telephone interviews.
Chief Data Scientist Nik Nanos says the "biggest confidence gains in the wake of the Canadian election relate to the increasing value of real estate and the future strength of the Canadian economy".
