It has not? Stats Canada begs to disagree:

3M jobs lost in March and April, 1.7M recovered up to the end of August. Not out of the woods by any means, but to say there has been no rebound is disingenuous.
Jobs are up, I'll give you that, but CPI is near zero.

So, we can trade stats if we want too, but I perhaps understated the growth of the economy.
It's probably unfair to try to draw many conclusions at this point anyway, the lockdown was lifted as the case numbers was also dropping.
