Investor's Business Daily - A U.S. slowdown in the 1st half of '08 could hit Canada's growth harder than was expected just a few months ago, Bank of Canada Gov. David Dodge said. The U.S. is Canada's top trading partner. Last week's gloomy U.S. jobs report raised concerns about a recession there. The Canadian economy has been hurt lately by the strength of its dollar vs. the U.S. dollar. Dodge said that the Canadian currency's strength was "having a slightly greater downside impact on our domestic inflation than we expected last October."

But that&#39;s still well-above the boom-bust line of 50. Most executives expect sales, capital spending and hiring to be flat or rise in the coming months. &quot;While the survey does suggest that the economy is settling into a softer consolidation phase, as long as consumers keep spending, the economy can continue to move ahead,&quot; said Harold McGraw, the group&#39;s chairman.
