Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Scotiabank argues the BoC should ignore Friday's weak Canadian jobs report and stay focused on inflation, since the 70k September public-sector decline (58k health/education, 46k in Quebec) looks implausible during an election. It urges an external Australian-style review of StatCan's LFS methodology, citing low response rates (70-73% vs 87% in 2019), large SEPH revisions, and SA-factor recency bias. Global bonds rallied, WTI fell, and the USD softened; US bank earnings were mixed.

Key arguments
- The BoC should discount Friday's weak Canadian jobs report and remain focused on inflation.
- Canada should launch an external, independent review of StatCan's Labour Force Survey methodology, modeled on Australia's 2014 review and the Fed's data-quality taskforces.
- StatCan's LFS suffers from response rates stuck at 70-73%, large SEPH first and final revisions, recency-biased seasonal adjustment, and a smoothed 12-month temporary-resident average.
- Alberta's advance voting on the separation question hinges on turnout; low turnout under 40% could favor separatists despite polls showing broad opposition.
Key numbers
- September Canadian public-sector job loss cited
- 70k (58k health/education; 46k Quebec)
- LFS response rate vs 2019
- 70-73% vs 87%
- Goldman Sachs adjusted EPS vs consensus
- US$17.01 vs US$12.82
- Citigroup EPS vs consensus
- US$2.85 vs US$2.65
- JP Morgan adjusted EPS vs consensus
- US$5.57 vs US$5.92
Main risks
- StatCan's September public-sector decline could be genuine, and October data could fail to rebound as the author expects.
- An external review could conclude existing methodology is sound, leaving healthy skepticism unresolved.
- Geopolitical tensions may re-escalate after the US midterms, with oil already pointing to that risk.
Corresponding source evidence
Lower oil prices are one driver of this, but I don’t think markets are listening and observing to the signs that tensions are likely to boil over again in coming weeks especially after US midterms.
Adjusted EPS of US$17.01 beat expectations for $12.82 with both FICC and equity revenues beating expectations.
Citigroup beat expectations with EPS of US$2.85 (consensus $2.65) as FICC revenues beat but equity revenues missed.
