Math checks out? Or is my brain unable to discern facts anymore?
GDP is annual, 52 weeks.
if you talk weekly you need to divide by 52.
So what you're saying is that it's even worse. Since it's now 5.2% to 10.4% of GDP that the Convoy was causing.
So in fact, the G&M actually downplayed the actual impact, which contradicts the title.
The 0.1% to 0.2% is the claim made, everything else is the reporter's math.
The source of that is the government wanting to martial-law the truckers so you can guarantee it's an overestimate. So the "0.2% of GDP per week" means "0.2% of weekly GDP" or 0.004% of yearly GDP per week of protest.
