About

The Sleeping Giant landform on the Sibley Peninsula in Lake Superior. Three flat-topped diabase mesas separated by erosion notches; the silhouette reads as a reclining figure.

Sibley Creek is an independent Canadian macroeconomic research and advisory firm.

We publish a live read of the Canadian economy — same-day commentary on every major print, paired with deeper research as questions warrant.

We also work with select institutional clients on retainer and project engagements. See the advisory page for who we work with and how.

Our method pairs disciplined data analysis with ground-truth reporting. We work from primary sources — Statistics Canada, the Bank of Canada, the Department of Finance — and talk to the people closest to the story.
