Although the size of the overall new vehicle market is larger than it was a decade ago, the size of Canada's midsize car market has been fallen to half. With figures in October, 2019 from Global Automakers of Canada look at their current state.
Ford Fusion: 7 280 sales, up 16 percent
Fusion sales reduced 15 percent in 2015, 9 percent in 2016,33 percent in 2017 and 27 percent in 2018. As Ford clears out the departing Fusion in 2019, sales are rising. Between the Fusion's 20 145-unit peak in2013 and 2018, the former best-seller took a 65-percent dive.
Toyota Camry: 11 579 sales, up 4 percent
When the Camry took over from the Ford Fusion as Canada's top-selling midsize car in 2012, the Camry's market share was little more than half as strong as it is now. Yet while Toyota sold 18 203 Camrys that year (far from the 28 218 that were sold five years earlier). Toyota will find 15 000 buyers in 2019, with a little help from the daily rental market.
Honda Accord: 9 089 sales, down 13 percent
The Accord is, by modern standards, a popular midsize car. But this 10th-generation car is a far cry from the Accord that led the market with 25 814 sales in 2004. Honda is not likely to sell half so many Accords in Canada in 2019, although the car's market share has grown from the 13 percent it held in 2010
Chevrolet Malibu: 4 674 sales, down 14 percent
The Malibu had continuous improvements in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. But after reporting 11 503 Malibu sales in 2016, GM Canada sold 29 per cent fewer in 2017 and then posted an 18-percent Malibu drop in 2018. Demand is weakening further in 2019.

There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every month. What about dinner clubs,where people get together once a month or four times a year to make and
eat dinner?In the dinner club that I joined,the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big dinner first,and then the members would begin discussing the food.1.
There are two variations of a dinner club.One has a group of people who try a different restaurant once a month. 2. There they all meet and order and share different entrees(主菜）。This is a great idea,especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants.
The second kind of dinner clubs has many different forms. 3.She is responsible for cooking the entrees.The other members make different courses at home,like salad and dessert,and bring them to the dinner club.For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner clubs,the entire group comes together in the hostess kitchen and prepares the entire meal in a group effort.In this way the members of the group not only learn about different types of food,but also different methods of cooking.
4.You can make the dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners.If you are a stay-at-home mother,get a couple of other stay-at-home mothers together and start a children's lunch club. 5. If you have a group of friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food,the possibilities are endless!
A.They want to have unique food from the hostess.
B.One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food.
C.Couples can get together for some food and great conversations.
D.People hope to have a great time getting together.
E.This was the beginning of our dinner club.
F.The great thing about a dinner club is its versatility(广泛性）。
G.One member usually decides on the restaurant.
