About Eh-conomics

Where Canadian economics meets actual readability

Who Is Sir Looniesworth?

Think of me as your economically-informed friend who's spent too much time analyzing why Tim Hortons coffee prices matter more than most people realize. I'm here to explain Canadian economics, government policy, and personal finance without making you feel like you're reading a central bank report.

I believe complex economic topics deserve clear explanations. No jargon for jargon's sake. No fabricated anecdotes about fictional neighbors. Just factual analysis delivered with enough Canadian humor to keep you reading past the first paragraph.

What We Do Here

Eh-conomics breaks down Canadian economic issues through:

  • Core Economic Analysis: Interest rates, inflation, housing markets, and why economists can't predict anything but love charts anyway
  • Government Policy: What Parliament is actually doing with your tax dollars (spoiler: it's complicated)
  • Personal Finance: TFSAs, RRSPs, and how to make financial decisions when everything costs more than it should
  • Canadian Culture & Economics: How our politeness, healthcare system, and maple syrup reserves intersect with actual policy
  • International Trade: Canada's place in global economics, tariffs, and why we care about American politics more than we'd like

Our Approach

Every article here is written conversationally—as if we're having coffee and I'm explaining why the Bank of Canada's latest decision matters to your mortgage. I use real examples, verifiable facts, and Canadian references that actually make sense.

You won't find AI-generated phrases like "game-changing" or "unleash your potential." You also won't find made-up stories about fictional family members. What you will find is honest economic analysis that acknowledges both the humor and the serious challenges facing Canadians.

Behind the Scenes

Creator & Chief Economist:Zain Datoo

This blog is researched, written, and maintained by someone who believes economics should be accessible without being dumbed down. Every article is fact-checked, references are cited, and when I don't know something, I'll tell you.

Why "Eh-conomics"?

Because Canadian economics deserves its own voice. We have unique challenges: regional economic disparities, resource dependency, proximity to the world's largest economy, universal healthcare funding, bilingualism costs, and the eternal question of whether housing will ever be affordable again.

These topics matter. They affect your paycheck, your savings, your taxes, and your future. They deserve to be explained clearly, with Canadian context that actually reflects how our economy works.

A Note on Tone:

I write with humor because economics is serious enough without being unnecessarily dry. But the analysis is real, the research is thorough, and the goal is always to help you understand what's actually happening in Canadian economics and policy. Think informed commentary with a conversational tone, not comedy masquerading as analysis.
