This is the best summary I could come up with:
TORONTO, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Canada's manufacturing sector contracted for a seventh straight month in November as global industrial weakness weighed on output and new orders, and despite an increase in hiring, data showed on Friday.
The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to a seasonally adjusted 47.7 in November from 48.6 in October.
"Once again, the Canadian manufacturing PMI revealed some of the broad-based challenges facing the economy heading towards the end of the year," Paul Smith, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said in a statement.
"Output and new orders remain mired in contraction territory, linked in part to a broader-based global industrial weakness which is limiting demand and sales.
The output index fell to 46.1 from 46.9 in October and the measure of new orders was at 45.4, its lowest level since August 2022, down from 48.3.
The employment measure was a bright spot, moving into expansion territory for the first time since April, as it rose to 50.7 from 49.9 in October.
