As the Canadian economy faces challenges with a recent contraction in GDP and rate cuts by the Bank of Canada amid tariff uncertainties, investors are keenly observing growth opportunities that may arise from these shifting dynamics. In such an environment, companies with substantial insider ownership often stand out as they can signal confidence from those closest to the business, making them potential candidates for investors looking to capitalize on growth within a recovering market.
