The mother of all levers: 20 outgoing edges. Strong consumer confidence, tech investment, and resource exports push GDP growth to 3.2%. Chain: gdp_growth -> ALL provincial GDPs (immediate, 9 provinces) + nominal_gdp (immediate) + business_investment (+2.0, d1) + employment_rate (+0.4, d1) + federal_revenues (d1) + GST (d1) + CHT (d1) + corporate_tax (d2) + personal_income_tax (d2) + inflation (d2) + EI_benefits (-, d1). One lever, twenty ripples.
