Fiscal Management - Canada - Debt to GDP and Surpluses (Deficits) - December ...paul young cpa, cga
This is allot spinning of information when it comes to the government. In many cases various government like spin facts to show they are doing a good job when they are not!
- The document discusses Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio, which measures government debt as a percentage of GDP. It notes that Canada has one of the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios in the G7.
- It examines fiscal policies and spending/deficits under different governments in Canada. Austerity measures in the 1990s under Paul Martin focused on spending cuts rather than tax increases.
- Data on debt-to-GDP ratios, government spending, taxation, surpluses and deficits over time in Canada are presented from various sources to analyze fiscal trends and debates around these issues.
Paul Young presented on myths about the Liberal Party of Canada. He discussed their promises of $60 billion in additional infrastructure spending, which would result in lingering deficits until 2019. He also looked at GDP growth under the Liberals and Conservatives, and the Liberals' record during the 2008-2009 recession. Finally, he examined the Liberals' promises of openness and transparency in government compared to the Conservatives.
This analysis looks at the issues facing employment and wages in Canada. Canada has shown a resilient employment market over the past 10+ years with average job creation being 220,000+ per year.
The problem is over the past 3.5 years the federal govt has gone the opposite way when it comes to supporting FDI as they have decided to focus solely on the environment.
This document provides an overview and analysis of issues facing the Canadian economy as it heads for slower economic growth. It summarizes GDP forecasts showing slowing global growth. For Canada specifically, it notes the IMF forecasting lower growth than previous estimates and discusses factors impacting Canadian GDP such as commodity prices, consumer demand, and government policies. Key sectors of the Canadian economy like goods production and exports are examined. Potential policy solutions discussed include investing in infrastructure, education and retraining to support new industries, and trade agreements to boost exports.
This presentation will discuss issues facing the Canadian economy as it heads for slower economic growth.
World economies are facing difficulties due to many factors like Brexit or China/USA trade wars or Excessive Government Regulations or lack of investment infrastructure
Geopolitical events in Middle East, South Asia Sea, Government changes in UK, Australia, etc.
This document is a presentation by Paul Young, CPA, CGA on the topic of income inequality in Canada from September 2017. It discusses definitions of income inequality, potential ways to address it such as redistributing wealth and increasing funding to social programs and healthcare/education, and rebuttals against the argument that a guaranteed minimum income or increased taxes on the wealthy are solutions. It provides sources and links to support the presenter's perspective that growing the middle class and job creation, particularly in goods-producing sectors, would do more to reduce inequality than government dependency or tax increases.
Trump Tax Cut a Bust for Investment and HiringInvestingTips

Trump Tax Cut a Bust for Investment and Hiring
When Congress passed the biggest change in the U.S. tax code in thirty years, taxes were cut by $1.5 Trillion. The promise was that U.S. industry would invest that money, hire more people, and raise yearly GDP growth to the 4% range for the indefinite future. That did not all seem to have happened according to recent information. Was the Trump tax cut a bust for investment and hiring? Here are some thoughts on the subject.
Trump Tax Cut a Bust for Investment and Hiring
Fortune explains why the tax cut has not sparked hiring or investment.
The Trump administration’s $1.5 trillion in tax cuts appears to have not made any major impact on businesses’ capital investment or hiring plans, according to a new survey.
A quarterly poll from the National Association for Business Economics published Monday found that some companies reported accelerating investments because of lower corporate taxes, but a whopping 84% of respondents said they had not changed their plans. That’s up slightly from 81% in the previous survey published in October, Reuters reports.
The one bright spot was in goods-producing companies where half reported increased investments and a fifth reported redirecting hiring and investments from offshore to the USA.
Of S&P 500 companies studied by the University of Michigan, only 4% planned to give back part of the tax cut to workers and a fifth anticipated increasing their business-related investments. Small business investment fared better according to the National Federation of Independent Business with 5% increasing their investments while a third increased employee pay.

The document is a summary and analysis of Canada's GDP and job market by Paul Young, CPA. It discusses various factors that influence GDP, including government spending, consumer spending, taxation and business returns. While governments often take credit for strong economies, 2/3 of GDP is typically driven by consumer spending. Higher taxes can reduce consumers' disposable income and lead to less spending. The document analyzes GDP and employment data from various periods under Liberal and Conservative governments in Canada. It argues the Liberals' policies of tax increases and canceled pipelines have negatively impacted GDP growth and job opportunities compared to under the previous Conservative government.
2019 Election| Scorecard | Liberal Party of Canada | Prime Minister - Justin ...paul young cpa, cga
Here is a look at key areas of policy as part of assessing the success of Trudeau. Trudeau and his team often tout certain stats as way to show people they are successful. The problem is that many stats are very high level as such never discuss the details.
There are many issues facing the provinces including the following:
1. Alberta election
2. Federal Election
3. Force Carbon Taxation
4. Federal govt focus to much focus on hiking taxes and excessive regulations
5. Lack focus to get goods to market.
6. Lack of focus by all levels of govt on making Canada and the provinces more business competitive.
7. Issues with brain drain (feds change the tax laws for small business)
8. Federal govt is pushing failed Ontario FIT programs on to the provinces
9. Slow economic growth
10. Canada is failing on foreign policies, i.e. Japan, Australia, India, China, USA, etc.
This document summarizes key points from Paul Young's presentation on government policy and household income in Canada in 2016. It includes:
- Job losses forecasted from minimum wage increases range from 50,000 to 185,000 jobs lost.
- Median household incomes grew the most in Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Alberta, and Manitoba from 2005-2015. Income growth was lowest in Quebec and Ontario.
- The presentation discusses trends in household income, low income rates, energy poverty, and taxation policies across Canada.
The document discusses Canada's slow economic growth and identifies several factors contributing to it. It notes that the Liberal Economic Council is brainstorming ways to increase growth such as easing immigration, retraining workers, and creating infrastructure programs. However, there are no easy fixes as the economy depends on many interconnected areas like exports, consumer spending, commodity prices, and government policies. The document outlines some policy options for various sectors but notes that simply adding regulations will not help and the government cannot rely solely on tax increases from businesses to fund spending.
This presentation looks at different aspects of the Canadian economy as part of helping business and people understand the pressures Canada is facing both domestically as well as internationally.
The presentation will look at retail sales, housing starts, income, employment, government spending, key industry metrics and exports.
Trudeau government did not have the answer for slow growth
Government role with the economy is to support policies that encourage public sector growth
Global economy is competitive. Liberals are introducing hikes to CPP as well as a new Carbon Tax
Governments should neither get all credit for growing economy nor for a slowing economy
Canada’s GDP growth has been consistent for 15+ years and that is rate of about 2.2%.
Liberals infrastructure plan has been very slow which has not help construction industry since they took office in 2015
Liberals are on path to $100B new debt with growth rates same as the past 15+ years
Using our Michigan Turnaround Plan as a checklist, we can see how much has been done to strengthen our state and reshape its economy. Our state finances are managed better, our tax policy has been improved, our regulatory
environment makes more sense, and the conditions are right to foster growth in our state, creating new jobs and bringing life to our communities. As you read this report, we think you’ll see that much has been done to strengthen Michigan’s economic environment. Our economy might not be a Top Ten State yet, but we’re well on our way.
In the 2012 Michigan Turnaround Plan, we identify what work remains in Steps 1-5 to further strengthen our state’s
competitiveness and put our state on a solid path to prosperity.
Now that our foundation is more solid, it is time to add a sixth step to the MTP – Leveraging Assets to Grow the New
Michigan. We identify existing Michigan assets that we believe, based on solid data, can be leveraged to accelerate
growth and transition to the New Michigan. It’s a 10+ year vision that builds on the first five steps of the Plan. We
detail the possibilities we see in each “growth opportunity”to reshape and strengthen the Michigan of tomorrow.
Canada has been going through a period of slow growth since 2018. The inaction of the Liberals through bad tax policies along regulatory burden have expedited the slow growth. The Liberals approach was not about reforming govt, but growing the size and cost of govt.
Debt to GDP is one of the key measures that governments used to compare with other governments around the world
Federal Government only reports Federal Debt to GDP
The truth government debt has to include all levels of government (Municipal, Provincial and Federal)
This document provides an agenda for discussing job quality in Canada versus the United States in December 2019. It includes Paul Young's contact information and biographical details.

This presentation discusses key policy areas including a comparison between 2015 and Liberal Government record. The rankings used can vary a little due to timing of the rankings.
Liberals changed many policies over the years, but very few times does either MSM or social media call out their failures
Trudeau and his team constantly provide data that is neither supported nor completely accurate
Harper was not perfect in terms of his policy, but he was very successful as he faced numerous challenges, i.e. global recession, minority parliament, hostile premiers (i.e. PQ and ON) - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/cpc-and-stephen-harper-years-as-prime-minister

Blog – What is next for Monetary Policies – Canada – September 2022
Canada has struggled with productivity issues for over 20 years. The liberals have done little address productivity including making changes to tax code related to capital cost allowance, R&D credits, training credits, etc.

Household Spending, Savings and Income (Income Inequality .pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Here is my latest look at household consumption, taxation, and income.
Justin Trudeau is continuing on his social spending plan. The problem is there was a structural deficit pre-covid19.
This document compares GDP figures between Canada and the USA for November 2019. It discusses GDP by sector, total GDP for both countries, stock market performance, and labor market indicators. The author concludes that Canada's GDP growth has been sluggish for two years, while the USA has one of the strongest GDPs in the G7. The author argues tax and government reforms are needed in Canada to balance the environment and economy and deliver good jobs. Fair trade deals and WTO reforms are also suggested.
How can Bank of Canada achieve its 2% Inflation target for Canadapaul young cpa, cga
The document discusses various issues facing the Canadian economy, including high inflation, housing unaffordability, lack of productivity and innovation. It argues that Justin Trudeau's policies have not adequately addressed long-standing structural problems and that all levels of government need reforms to taxation, spending, innovation programs, and housing policy to boost the economy. The Bank of Canada is keeping interest rates low due to high inflation and uncertainty around achieving full employment. Foreign investment is inflating home prices while productivity and competitiveness have lagged.

Both the US and Canada are facing shortages in technical skills like IT. As baby boomers retire, their skills are leaving the workforce. Government training programs exist but may need to be modified to better align with employer needs. Teaching coding to youth and increasing online education options could help close skills gaps in Canada.
2019 Election| Skills Management| Career and Employment| Canada| September 2019paul young cpa, cga
The role of government is defined the educational programs required to support the economy. Too many govts across Canada have pushed programs that do not provide meaningful employment
The world continues to change as such governments need to address all their policies that support economic growth
Immigration should not be based on quota, but align where there voids in employment not filled by educational programs
Canada needs to become more competitive through reducing its reforming areas like taxation, regulations, trade/fipa deals and hydro rates.
All levels of government and the private sector need to fixed the education systems to ensure people have skills for today and tomorrow
It is not one policy that supports human capital management but many policies
Employment and Labor Market - United States - September 2022.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
The U.S. labour market tightened in September due to both solid job growth and less participation in the workforce. While wage growth doesn't appear to be accelerating, the Fed won't be pleased with this report, which will only cement expectations of a 75 bp rate hike next month.
Nonfarm payrolls rose 263,000 in September, a little better than expected. While this was down from the prior month's pace (315,000) and the 2022 average (420,000), it's well above long-run norms. A similarly strong 204,000 increase in employment in the household survey, coupled with a dip in the participation rate, pulled the unemployment rate down two tenths, back to the half-century low of 3.5% reached in July and matched just before the pandemic. Payrolls gains were spread wide and far across industries, with even the recently struggling manufacturing sector pumping out a decent 22,000 new jobs. Restaurants and bars served up 60,000 new positions, while the health care industry received a similar-sized booster shot to its payrolls.

2019 Election| Employment and Job Quality| Canada| August 2019paul young cpa, cga
Canada has low unemployment rate, but the low unemployment rate does not tell the complete picture of the labor market.
There are issues with job quality. There needs to be change in government policies that better support goods producing, IT and advance skill level jobs.
Government needs to become more efficient -
This document analyzes major policy areas of the Liberal government since 2015, comparing data and facts from various periods of leadership. It addresses topics like GDP, employment, household debt, deficits, taxes, poverty, affordability and more. The presentation aims to provide factual context to claims made by politicians to help inform voters. It argues some Liberal policies have not been as effective as stated and more balanced approaches are needed considering both economic and environmental factors.
This document provides an overview and agenda for discussing the 2017 United States GDP. It was authored by Paul Young, a CPA and CGA with expertise in various financial and business areas. The document outlines that the US will have the fastest GDP growth in the G7 in 2017, while Canada's growth will lag behind both Germany and the US. It also includes GDP figures by quarter for the US and a comparison of GDP under previous Canadian prime ministers Harper and the current prime minister Trudeau.
Real GDP rose 3.0% in 2017, following 1.4% growth in 2016. Much of this growth was attributable to the first two quarters of 2017, with deceleration observed toward the end of the year.
Final domestic demand advanced 3.0% with steady growth throughout the year.
Household final consumption expenditure rose 3.5%, with increased outlays on goods (+3.9%) and services (+3.2%). Increased expenditures on insurance and financial services (+5.0%) and purchases of vehicles (+6.3%) were strong contributors to growth.
Business gross fixed capital formation rose 2.6%, following a 4.5% decline in 2016. Investment in machinery and equipment (+6.0%) and residential structures (+3.1%) both increased sharply. Investment in non-residential structures rose 0.3%, following two annual declines.
Also contributing to growth was business investment in inventories, up by $13.9 billion, of which $13.6 billion was in non-farm inventories. Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers all added to their stocks in each quarter.
Exports grew 1.0% for the second consecutive year, with gains in both goods (+0.6%) and services (+2.8%). Imports increased 3.6% after falling 1.0% in 2016.
Compensation of employees rose 3.9% (nominal terms), contributing to a 4.8% gain in household disposable income.
This was slightly faster than the growth in household final consumption expenditure (+4.6%), and the household saving rate consequently edged up to 3.6%.
The gross operating surplus of corporations increased 9.5% as earnings of both non-financial and financial corporations rose sharply.
Expressed at an annualized rate, real GDP rose 1.7% in the fourth quarter. In comparison, real GDP in the United States grew 2.5%.
Retail Sales and Consumer Spending Analysis and Commentary - July 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Canadian retail sales dropped 0.3% in August, the first decline since March, as higher interest rates start to impact household budgets. Seven of the nine retail subsectors saw sales increases in July, led by food and beverage retailers, while motor vehicle and parts dealers saw the largest decrease. Excluding autos, retail sales in July rose 1%, double expectations. The report suggests Canadians are tightening spending as more face higher mortgage payments and gas prices due to Bank of Canada rate hikes aimed at slowing inflation.

The key challenges facing Australian business leaders in 2023 include:
1. Talent acquisition, retention and training staff for digital transformation.
2. Implementing successful digital transformation while managing cyber risks.
3. Adapting to changing regulations and reporting requirements.
Health risks from COVID-19, social reputation concerns, and disruptive emerging technologies are also significant social challenges impacting Australian businesses.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
