7-reasons-to-be-exciting-about-the-canadian-economy
My concerns with the BOC saying inflation dropping from 5.3% in 2022 to 2018 is not realistic and here is why:
• Liberals plan hikes to carbon tax - https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/federal-carbon-tax-to-increase-to-170-per-tonne-
by-2030-as-liberals-unveil-new-climate-plan
• Critical metals have risk due to supply and refinement capacity issues. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-
News/America-Desperately-Needs-To-Scale-Up-Battery-Metal-Production.html
• Huge capital needs to be spent on areas like the electrical grid and plug-in stations (electrical vehicle adoption)
• Housing issues will continue to plague the cost of housing – https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/housing-and-
homelessness-canada-and-the-world-budget-2022-pptx

13. ESG REPORTING
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 13
Blog - Materiality Question Dogs SEC’s ESG Disclosure Project -
“When it comes to disclosure, investors have told us what they want,” Gensler tweeted in early August. “It’s now time for the
commission to take the baton.”
However, it would be practically impossible for the SEC to require all the above-listed information in one expansive rule. In
addition, though it might please climate change activists, it would alienate issuers and bring heaps of scorn from the business
lobby. More importantly, though, it could violate a bedrock principle of SEC disclosure mandates: materiality.
Disclosures are material when they are reasonably likely to impact a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Therefore, they are the most important to investors, to use the definition of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
