Canada is a desirable country for people looking for a better life. The problem is liberals ideology is leading to crisis with Canada's ability to handle influx of both regular and irregular entry into Canada
Previous Canadian governments have all struggle with immigration including integration. The liberals under Justin Trudeau have eroding immigration due to their failed ideology.
Immigration has always been used as part of balancing out the employment requirements of an economy. The problem is too many governments around the world are not aligning immigration in a way that supports economic growth.

Too many public officials are not addressing the systemic with crime including lenient sentencing, the bail granting process, not providing police with the tools to do their jobs, etc.
Liberals will continue to use identity politics to focus on emotion and not issues including their various policies

Canada needs to focus on being a desirable location for business including signing the right trade and investment deals, reducing regulations, balance approach to the environment and the economy

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.

Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023

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.

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.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

funding of social services
• The Liberals have refused to designate all border crossing illegals
• Opposition questions the border crossing the government goes off on tangent
saying “Opposition voted down the moneys for borders and refugees)
• All the opposition as well as majority Canadians want is for the borders to be secure
and that people go through the proper process to immigrate to Canada
• Canada is heading to a very dangerous slope when it comes to supporting the influx
of refugees.

• This does not include moneys the municipalities and provinces have to spend on healthcare,
education and social assistance payments.
• Refugee funding “Much of the increase — $289.9 million — is the result of the immigration levels
the Trudeau government set for 2017 and its plan for 2018 "to facilitate the entry of top talent and
to support family reunification and protection of refugees.”– Source -

The new data shows that, between January 1 and March 31, 2017, there were a total of
8,960 asylum claims filed through either the Department of Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). The
estimate of asylum seekers would be close to 30,000. Nearly double the average which is
about 16,000

“January and February, we were getting updates from the RCMP and (Canada Border Services
Agency),” Falk said Monday. “We’ve been making the same inquiries from the same individuals,
and they tell us that Ottawa has gagged them and that they are unable to provide us that
information.”
Falk said he believes the number of illegal border crossers is rising, and said he’s seen it first-
hand.
“I came through the border two weeks ago on a Saturday night, and there were more than a
dozen individuals at the Emerson port of entry, just waiting to be processed. And this was on a
Saturday night. We know the numbers are increasing, and that’s something that they don’t want
Canadians to know

29. Safe Country Agreement
Nowhere in this 1951 treaty is anything mentioned about refugee
status procedures. The word “asylum” is not even mentioned in any
of its 46 articles. The most relevant obligation is found in article 33,
which stipulates that refugees cannot be returned to a country where
their “life or freedom would be threatened.” This basic guarantee is
not the same as a right of asylum in that it allows some flexibility as
long as refugees’ lives are not endangered. Unless a Canadian court
determines the U.S. is no longer safe, there is no violation of the
convention if migrants arriving at the Quebec border are returned to
upstate New York. This principle is what allows Australia’s
controversial policy of intercepting boat people and offloading them
onto what Canberra considers to be safe Pacific islands.

33. Trudeau and Refugees
Source - http://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/bonokoski-justin-trudeau-avoids-kicking-the-immigration-hornets-nest
What is not “fair” or “equal”, however, is the treatment of legitimate refugee and immigrant claimants
who are pushed to the back of an increasingly long line for making the mistake of following the rules.
They get the short end of the stick while illegal queue-jumpers wanting out of Trump’s America as if
their lives were in peril get treated with kid gloves rather than being hauled back onto American soil
as they would be if they tried the same stunt at any legitimate Canada-U.S. border crossing.
Trudeau never mentioned this, of course — nor his father, or himself, as the creators of today’s crisis
at our border.
That would have kicked an already over-poked hornet’s nest.
34. What needs to be done?
• The asylum seekers should be turn back over to USA through suspending the safe harbor agreement
• Canada can set people back as there is nothing in the safe country agreement that says Canada has to offer claimants a hearing -

• USA and Canada need to beef up security/monitoring of the border
• Federal funds need to be made available to provincial, municipal and community groups to support the handling of asylum seekers.
