Reading A Choppy Series
The absence of a clean trend is itself informative — it suggests Canada's underlying conditions here are unsettled or the measurement is noisy, not that nothing is happening.
Use the direction of this line more than any single year's value — food imports figures like this one are most reliable as a trend indicator, less reliable as a precise year-by-year scorecard.
Like most indicator series of this kind, the Canada numbers here are compiled from periodic surveys and filled in with modeling for the years between — read the shape of the trend, hold individual annual figures loosely.
