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.
Bottom Line: A variety of special factors landed on an already tough base effect to produce the highest reading on Canadian inflation in almost two decades in July. It is important to note that even with the gaudy headline readings, the two-year pace—which removes base effects—is still running close to 2% on most major measures. And, we remain comfortable with our forecasts on CPI for this year and next; we had been calling for an average rate of 3% this year and just a snick below in 2022 (2.9% to be precise). Having said all that, it is always notable when the surprises all land on one side of the ledger—the high side—and that has been the case for most the year in North American price readings. Risks remain to the high side on inflation until further notice.

Has Justin Trudeau been Open, Transparent, and Accountable to Canada?paul young cpa, cga
This presentation looks at different areas of government as a way for Canadians to assess if Justin Trudeau has been accountable, open, and transparent to Canadians.
People need to review all aspects of the various parties platform including looking at the annual report for government.
There is allot of information that is missing from statements made by various parties. Elections tend to allow parties to mislead the facts.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, durable goods have been a major contributor to the increase in the CPI. Durable goods rose at a faster pace in August (+5.7%) compared with July (+5.0%), with passenger vehicles (+7.2%), furniture (+8.7%) and household appliances (+5.3%) contributing the most to the increase.
In addition, prices for services have accelerated for the fifth consecutive month, rising at a faster pace in August (+2.7%) compared with July (+2.6%) amid easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Year over year, prices for traveller accommodation rose 19.3%. Reopening of businesses and summer travel contributed to the price increases.
Prices rose in seven of the eight major components in August, with transportation prices contributing the most to the all-items increase. Conversely, consumers paid less for clothing and footwear, as prices declined year over year.

GDP is key measurement for a country. Allot is said about GDP, especially by various government. The reality is government gets to much credit for booming economy and too much fault for recession.
There are many factors drive GDP including taxation, business returns, consumer spending and government spending. 2/3 of economies tend to be driven by consumer spending. If you set policies that takes more money out people’s pocket book then that will lead to less consumer spending.
2019 Election| Human Capital and Skills Management| Canada| September 2019paul young cpa, cga
For companies and government to be successful means they need to look at hard at their policies and programs to support development of their employees.
Government needs to adjust their workplace model to the digital economy
Government policies like hikes to small business tax and/or elimination of tax credits are making Canada less competitive when it comes to attracting brain power.
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

Liberal Party of Canada and PM Trudeau - Fiscal and Economic Scorecard - 2017paul young cpa, cga
Government role is to support social program as well as policies that will support economic growth
The Liberals since they took office their focus has been on social issues which are being driven by agenda 2030 -https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-agenda-2030
Trudeau said he would run modest deficits which has not
Trudeau has failed on major planks of his 2015 election campaign
Trudeau has caused tensions with countries like India, Australia, China, Philippines, etc.
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%.
Who could see this coming that jobs would go out the door as employment shrunk by 88,000
P/T jobs are gone which is par for the course as many of them were Christmas related, right? Except that in January 2017 57K net new jobs were created, right?
2019 Election| Human Capital and Skills Management| June 2019paul young cpa, cga
More emphasis on trades
Education needs to push people into math, sciences, trades and IT fields
All level governments need to stopped finding ways to tax people. The emphasis on government should be value for money
All levels of governments and the private sector need to work together on integrated strategy to ensure people are prepared for jobs of today and tomorrow
Ontario needs to eliminate the skill trades college
Immigration should not be based on a quota but tied to economic growth.
All levels of government need to streamline their regulations.

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.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE September 15 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
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%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
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.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

Trudeau to run modest deficit
10. Social Spending and Taxation
Social Programs
@jyduclos
Your government track record on accountability, transparency and oversight has been abysmal. Your
latest approach to having the private sector take over certain social programs is fallacy. All social
spending needs to have outcomes. Your government never looks at outcomes but throws money at
the symptoms.

“Trade is vital for our economy. It opens
markets, grows Canadian businesses, and
creates good-paying middle class jobs –
jobs that pay wages that are 50 percent
higher than industries that are not export
intensive. That is good news for the
middle class and the communities they
call home.
Stephen Harper’s approach to trade,
however, has failed. His Conservative
government has recorded the largest trade
deficit in Canadian history, and Canadians
are paying the price in lost job
opportunities.
While Stephen Harper may sign trade
deals, he walks away from partnering with
businesses and entrepreneurs to ensure
they can succeed in new markets and
create wealth and jobs for Canadians.

17. Rebuttal #1 – Surplus/(Deficits)
http://globalnews.ca/news/3739447/liberals-deficit-path-bill-
morneau/?utm_source=GlobalNews&utm_medium=Facebook
I am not surprised with this comment as the Liberals expenses are growing about 2x times faster than the
growth of GDP. Here is my surplus/deficit calculation - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-
cpc-and-liberals-surplus-debate. Yet if Harper did the same thing in terms of spending and deficits then
the left would have crucified him. So, why does PM Selfie get a free pass?
Secondly, the economy is projected to grow at slower rate in 2018 and beyond, why? Federal government
is pushing national carbon tax starting in 2018. The carbon tax will take money out of the economy -
http://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/ottawas-carbon-tax-plan-to-shrink-economy-by-
3-billion-hurt-loonie-in-2018-study. The adjustment is small, but it was shave a point or two off GDP.
Canada is also seeing correction in areas like manufacturing, construction, energy and utility sector.
Thirdly, GDP is project to drop back down to 1.9% to 2.2 range
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/gdp-outlook-canada-and-the-world-september-8-2017 - see
slide 3 which shows you that Trudeau growth is same Harper was achieving post 2008-2009 recession.

19. Environment
In 2014 is when Canada was ranked 24th in the world when it came to sustainability including the environment. The Liberals took office in 2015 as such
the ranking for Canada is now 25 when it comes to sustainability. So, where are all these improvements to the environment? There are none! All the LPC
did was keep the same policies with one exception that is imposing a carbon tax on all provinces. Yet carbon taxes have been a failure. Australia yanked
the carbon tax as they were too punitive to the economy and did nothing for global emissions - http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/australia-s-carbon-tax-

20. Open and
Transparent
Government
One of key to strong government is ensuring the integrity of government is protecting.
Government’s role is to serve the people in terms of supporting social programs.
Trudeau said he would be more open and transparent with his government and that has not been
the case
Election Promise 2015 - https://www.liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/a-fair-and-
open-government.pdf
Key Quote
“Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction — to borrow a mangled phrase from a dear departed
Republican primary candidate — that the Liberal Party has brought transparency to the Canadian
government. The Liberal Party has not brought transparency to the Canadian government.
We have known this for some time. Justin Trudeau's star cabinet ministers have made fatuous non-
answers the unofficial lullaby of most press conferences and question periods.
Want to know why the Liberals abandoned electoral reform? Well, here are some platitudes about the
value of diverse voices in our democracy. How closely will the government be involved in its
supposedly arms-length multibillion-dollar infrastructure bank? Uh … can I interest you in some banal
remarks about building up the middle class? How about quotes about investing in Canadians' future? –

26. Cost of Marijuana
Marijuana legalization can lead to the following issues
More programs to support addiction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=likKBDWyAB4)
More programs to help the mentally ill
Drug-testing for employers. Marijuana is like alcohol as such it does impair your ability to operate
heavy machinery and equipment.
Police detect devices for drug impaired drivers. How will drug impaired be charged under the criminal
code?
How will laws be reformed? How long will take it to changed the laws?
How will the government enforce and collect taxes on marijuana growing operations, i.e. excise taxes,
HST, income tax, etc.?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pot-mclellan-cost-of-
legalization-1.3758981
Taxes on legal marijuana could add up to billions of dollars a year, but before that happens Canadians may have to make peace with
spending to legalize pot. "People — and I think the provinces, the territories and the government of Canada understand this — do not expect
big revenues in the early years," Anne McLellan, the head of Canada's marijuana legalization and regulation task force, told CBC News.
"In fact, there are going to be up-front costs that governments at all levels are going to have to absorb."
Hint: Any new government program will have sunk costs of front as part of the initial setup. There will be ongoing cost to support the
program. It is too early to say what those costs will be to government. It is safe bet to say it will not be a complete windfall for the
government when it comes to revenue
27. Marijuana Market / Size
A legal market for recreational marijuana could give Canada’s economy a boost of up to $22.6 billion
annually, says a new study from business services firm Deloitte.
The study estimates that marijuana sales, even initially, would be at least as large as hard liquor sales in
Canada, at around $5 billion annually, but could be as large as $8.7 billion, making them as large as wine
sales.
The total impact for Canada’s economy from a legal weed market — including growing and distribution,
pot paraphernalia, increased tourism and business taxes — would amount to between $12.7 billion to
$22.6 billion annually.
The actual number will depend on how the government decides to regulate marijuana, and what price
standards it sets, Deloitte says. Those are decisions the federal Liberals plan to announce next spring.
Canada's pharmaceutical industry has been lobbying to be admitted to the marijuana game when it's
legalized. Shoppers Drug Mart, owned by Loblaw Co., announced earlier this week it has applied to be a
medical marijuana distributor, a move likely preceding an expansion into recreational marijuana

29. Clean Technology
I have supported technology in any shape or form if it is viable. I do not believe in direct handouts unless those handouts go to colleges and universities as a form of grant to
support the development of technology via private, govt and education partnerships.

4. Canada government needs to be more effective in support of plug-in stations – (see slide 23 - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/clean-technology-canada-april-2019)

https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/clean-technology-raw-materials-production-and-environmental-impact
9. I support clean technology in a balance way. Trudeau does not. Trudeau is more concern about pushing his green economy at all costs. The goods producing sector is about

@justintrudeau has not been standing up for forestry jobs or he would have gotten a
deal done on Softwood lumber.

34. Carbon Tax
Here is what I told @cathmckenna
The reality is there are many facets to the environment that need to be dealt with better
policies. Trudeau only policy is carbon tax or bust.

35. Provincial Affairs and Policies
It seems when people do not agree with Trudeau's agenda of Agenda 2030 then they are not team players. I
do not remember Harper having this issue with province except for one. Wynne was Harper's problem!

a consumption tax, right? Both those aforementioned taxes are regressive taxes which means they hurt the low to middle class
more in terms of cost. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-middle-class-canada-june-2019-149149542

metal industries posted the largest gains in March.

38. Summary
Canada GDP is struggling to get above 2% for 2018.
Canada GDP has big gap between growth that with
the USA.
Trudeau’s new c-69 will cause even more issues
with FDI -

Trudeau is facing more and more pressure when it
comes to carbon tax. Doug Ford has repealed the
carbon tax in Ontario. In 2019 when AB likely votes
out the NDP then AB will also revoke the carbon
tax.
Trudeau is failing to secure major FIPA and Trade
deals as no one is interested in his social agenda.
Trudeau continues to put polls ahead of what is
best for Canadians.
Trudeau has little or no respect around the world
Trudeau is about divisive politics.
