The source is the OECD. The graph was compiled by Dr. Trevor Tombe from the university of Calgary.

You can verify it for yourself on the OECD website. The data available on the website only goes until 2023 though, so it's not exactly the same. But Canada places 3rd last if your cutoff is 2023. It seems like Mexico had a good year in 2024 while our GDP per capita declined again, resulting in us dropping to 2nd last by the end of 2024.

University of Calgary, eh?

I guess he's also the director Fiscal and Economic Policy at U of C's School of Public Policy. I wonder what his thoughts are on Carney vs Poilievre in terms of their economic and fiscal policies.
The source of the graph is the OECD, so the data should be solid. I also see Liberal premier of NB, Susan Holt, follows Trevor Tombe guy on Twitter. Not sure on his political leanings, but his Twitter page seems interesting and informative.
