I think I asked the questions quite clearly multiple times, but since you can’t click once and read, here it is again:
If oil prices are the reason for the gap widening around the time Trudeau was elected, how has the gap not closed at all in the last few years when Canadian oil prices are back up to where they were before they crashed? And how does Trudeau bear no responsibility for the consistent widening of the gap since he was elected, almost a decade ago?

I really don't want to get in the middle of Ozy going off the deep end for dubious reasons, but I'd just ask a counter question:
Given the widening gap between other advanced economies and the US is similar to the gap between Canada and the US, how can Trudeau's policies be to blame?
I do suspect that gap has a lot more to do with the US getting major benefits from tech growth that has global impacts and sales more than anything else, not a change in oil prices. And this isn't really an area Canada has the scale to compete at.
