<big> '''Need help?''' </big> |
|||
Hi, I saw that you have posted on the 'Early 1980s Recession' talk article. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Early_1980s_recession) You mentioned that there were two recessions in Canada, one in 1980 and another in 1981-2. I recently added some information under 'Recession in Canada' but was unable to find a distinction between the recessions in the years I have mentioned. All the information I found was classified as late 70s and early 80s. Do you mind taking a look? Thanks |
