Canada - Fiscal Management - Deficit and Debt - January 2022.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
This document provides a biography and contact information for Paul Young, a CPA and expert in various areas of fiscal management and policy. It then outlines an agenda for a presentation covering several topics related to fiscal management in Canada, including updates on the federal deficit and GDP growth, pandemic response measures, credit downgrades, the size of government, job markets, cost of living, and the importance of audits. Key sources are provided for each topic. The presentation aims to analyze fiscal policy and management for the federal government as well as provinces.
This document provides an overview and agenda for discussing the future of the natural gas market. It begins with introducing the author Paul Young and his background. The agenda then covers topics like the natural gas market outlook, top exporters of LNG, the role of natural gas in power generation, Canada's LNG industry and reserves. It discusses challenges and opportunities for natural gas given trends like the growth of LNG exports and climate policies influencing the power sector. The document concludes by suggesting areas governments and industry need to focus on to ensure natural gas remains an important part of the energy mix.
The total value of shipments of minerals showed a decrease in April, followed by two consecutive monthly increases. The total value of minerals shipped declined 17.6% in April to $3.47 billion from March, driven by a decrease in metallic minerals. In May, the total value of shipments of minerals rose 4.7% to $3.63 billion, led by an increase in the value of shipments of both metallic and non-metallic minerals. Finally, the value of shipments of metallic minerals saw a large increase (+10.3%) in June, which more than offset a slight decrease in non-metallic minerals. This resulted in an 8.4% increase of the total value of shipments of minerals.
Overall, the total value of shipments of minerals nearly doubled in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020. Higher shipment values for gold, iron ore and copper were mainly responsible for the gain.

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.
Savings and Retirment - Justin Trudeau - Policy Change.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Since 2015 many Canadians have seen their quality of life worsen under the progressive agenda by Justin Trudeau. Housing costs are the highest level in the history of Canada. People are being tax more through higher payroll taxes and/or removal tax credit programs along with other tax changes.
Trudeau also said during 2015 that only rich were using TFSA. Trudeau statement on TFSA was proven false numerous times
Trudeau and his team do a poor job reviewing programs to ensure they are effective. In many cases, Trudeau teams ignores reports from the auditor general, PBO, ombudsman, and other groups
This presentation discusses key issues facing Ontario and outlines steps for moving forward. It analyzes employment, GDP, manufacturing, mining, housing, electricity rates, and government revenues and expenses under previous administrations. The presentation argues Ontario needs reforms in healthcare, education, manufacturing, natural resources, housing, digitization, arbitration, pensions, support for small/medium businesses, supply chains, environmental protection, and transit. It calls for mandatory crisis/risk reporting across government to build a more resilient province.
Has Justin Trudeau been Open, Transparent, and Accountable to Canada?paul young cpa, cga
The document discusses whether the Liberal government in Canada has been open, transparent and accountable. It presents an agenda with over 80 topics related to allegations of a lack of transparency by the Liberal government. Some key examples discussed include failures in access to information, changes to fiscal reporting that provided less information, multiple ethics violations by Liberal cabinet ministers, and a lack of openness related to the SNC-Lavalin scandal. The document argues the Liberal government has not lived up to its promise of being more open and transparent than previous governments.
Paul Young, a CPA and CGA, analyzes wages and economic issues in Canada. He notes that wages have struggled to keep pace with inflation. While unemployment has dropped, businesses report difficulties filling jobs, yet no clear explanation has emerged for weak wage growth. Middle and lower income Canadians benefited most from past tax cuts. The next government must focus on tax fairness, embracing technology, resolving trade issues, addressing skills gaps, and making Canada more open and competitive for business through regulatory reform and a balanced economic approach.
Many different groups will write paper and/or articles on government from their perspective. It is important for readers to review all sources when it comes to debating various government policies
Justin Trudeau constantly calls out the Harper era like he did in 2015. The problem is Trudeau never discuss details as the details tell a different picture.
The document compares the social and economic policies of Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland) and Canada. Some key points of comparison include:
- Scandinavian countries have higher corporate and personal income tax rates than Canada. They also have higher VAT (value-added tax) rates.
- Scandinavian countries tend to have higher standards of living, lower poverty rates, and less income inequality than Canada. However, they also have higher costs of living.
- While Scandinavian countries invest heavily in social programs, their economies could be negatively impacted by very high taxes and regulatory costs that reduce competitiveness. Canada aims to balance social programs with competitiveness in the larger North American market.
Morneau “"I think Canadians will make their decisions based on those economic outcomes. I think people will see Andrew Scheer does not have a credible approach for the economy and our approach to the economy is actually working," he told reporters at an event at Toronto's Ryerson University. "There are obviously continuing challenges ... people in Alberta are facing a challenge around the changing oil and gas sector. Those issues are real. But what we're also seeing across the country is significantly more people employed.“ -Source - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/scheer-economic-address-energy-corridor-1.5138649
There many facets to the economy including how to bet get goods to market in environmentally sustainable way. The problem is the liberals never had the answers as you will see with this presentation as it focus on taxation, regulations, fdi, trade, environment, employment and innovation.
Hydrogen is considered a likely way to decarbonize industries that are hard to electrify, such as heavy transport or machinery.
O’Regan said the clean-burning fuel could provide up to 30 per cent of Canada’s energy needs by 2050. He said it could be an industry worth $50 billion and could provide 350,000 jobs.

Production:
Today, 95% of hydrogen is produced either from wood or from fossil fuels, such as natural gas and oil. Three types of production process are currently in use:
• The most common hydrogen production process is natural gas reforming — sometimes called steam methane reforming because it uses high-temperature steam. When exposed to steam and heat , the carbon (C) atoms of methane (CH4) separate. After two successive reactions, they reform separately to produce hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide (co₂) ). This operation therefore requires natural gas.
• Another process is charcoal gasification1. Charcoal consists mainly of carbon and water. Burned in a reactor at a very high temperature of between 1,200 and 1,500 °C, the charcoal releases gas that separates and reforms to produce hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
• Hydrogen can also be produced using electricity , through electrolysis of water. An electric current is used to split water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2). This method is not as cost-effective as using fossil fuels. Hydrogen produced by steam methane reforming costs around €1.5 per kilogram at the plant gate (excluding distribution costs), triple the cost of natural gas. Hydrogen produced using electrolysis is currently around four times more expensive, even before the cost of the electricity required is factored in.

Risks
1. In the atmosphere, ozone and water vapour react with sunlight to produce what are known as hydroxyl radicals. These powerful oxidants react with and help remove other chemicals released into the atmosphere via natural and human processes, such as burning fossil fuels. One of these chemicals is methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
2. Our understanding so far suggests that if a hydrogen economy replaced the fossil fuel-based energy system and had a leakage rate of 1%, its climate impact would be 0.6% of the fossil fuel system. But we need to better understand the hydrogen cycle, such as how land surfaces absorb hydrogen. In the meantime, we must try to minimise leakage of hydrogen in production, storage and use.

Welcome to @justinTrudeau ‘s Canada
The document is a presentation by Paul Young arguing that the Liberal government in Canada has failed to be open and transparent as promised. It lists over 100 examples of alleged failures across issues like access to information, fiscal reporting changes, ethics violations by the Prime Minister and others, the SNC-Lavalin affair, court orders blocking information, fisheries policy, procurement practices, deficits, foreign policy, criminal justice cases, and more. It aims to show that the Liberals have been less than truthful and open on many issues of governance.
The document provides an analysis of Canada's natural resources sector. It includes a biography of the author, Paul Young, and then covers topics such as GDP contributions from natural resources, commodity prices, government policies impacting oil and gas, lithium mining opportunities, and actions needed to better support the natural resources sector in Canada.
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%.
Canada needs to development Natural Resources and Agricultural Strategypaul young cpa, cga
Natural resources and Agriculture play a key role in terms of economic wealth and supply chain management. It is important for all levels of government to work together as part of developing effective strategy that will maximize the development of both natural resources and the agriculture sector.
The document provides an analysis of Canada's natural resources sector by Paul Young CPA CGA. It includes discussions of various natural resource industries in Canada like oil/gas, forestry, mining. It notes challenges in the sector like low oil prices and impacts of COVID-19. It also discusses the Trudeau government's policies around pipelines and carbon taxation that have affected natural resources. The document advocates for a new strategy to better support the natural resources sector in Canada.

Justin Trudeau felt a social license for oil which includes carbon tax would lead to the promise land when it comes to UN (i.e. agenda 2030) - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/agenda-2030-sustainable-development
Canada is the 4th largest oil producing country with a strong environmental and humans right record. So, why is Trudeau not pushing oil to the word?
Canada could eliminate the oil sands today and it would do nothing for global emissions
There needs to be a broader discussion on natural resources management including all aspects of the environment along with human rights.
UN needs to stop pushing Agenda 2030 at all cost.

Good leadership knows how to shift gears. Justin Trudeau took over an economy that was growing at 2.3% per year post-2009 recession. Trudeau decided to help the economy through his stimulus. The problem is that Trudeau policies never addressed issues with productivity, innovation, skills gap, tax fairness, and delivery program spending with value for money.
Canada GDP per capita has trail countries like Qatar. Canada economy would be doing much better with high commodity prices but LPC policies like C69 have either led to cancelation of projects or a slow approval process of new mines
Trudeau also continues to throw money at various programs despite audits and PBO reports saying the programs either are ineffective. Trudeau only seems to care when a report supports his narrative. Trudeau refuses to do a complete spending review as he believes in big and expensive government.
The so-called carbon tax has made lives less affordable to many Canadians

Justin Trudeau is great at promising the world but not so great at delivering results. Canadians need to keep pushing their elected representatives that Canada needs a new path. The progressive agenda is a failure. It is time to bring government to center and focus on delivering program spending with value for money along focusing on economic and tax policies that will drive FDI in areas like technology, mining, energy, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, construction, etc.

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.

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.

BONKMILLON Unleashes Its Bonkers Potential on Solana.pdfcoingabbar
Introducing BONKMILLON - The Most Bonkers Meme Coin Yet
Let's be real for a second – the world of meme coins can feel like a bit of a circus at times. Every other day, there's a new token promising to take you "to the moon" or offering some groundbreaking utility that'll change the game forever. But how many of them actually deliver on that hype?
2. Elemental Economics - Mineral demand.pdfNeal Brewster
After this second you should be able to: Explain the main determinants of demand for any mineral product, and their relative importance; recognise and explain how demand for any product is likely to change with economic activity; recognise and explain the roles of technology and relative prices in influencing demand; be able to explain the differences between the rates of growth of demand for different products.
"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 predecessor wanted you to know Canada for its resources," Trudeau reminded. "I want you to know
Canadians for our resourcefulness."
Trudeau misled people back in 2016 about the importance of Natural Resources development was to Canada.

15. Corporate Taxation
Here is what I told a Liberal?
You appear to be anti-business as such likely will not read my posts, but will take the NDP at their word when it comes to taxation, right?
Corporation pay carbon tax, excise taxes, payroll taxes, royalties, corporate income tax - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-corporate-and-business-taxation-flows-to-
government
Mutual funds and pension funds invest in corporations - https://www.investopedia.com/university/mutualfunds/mutualfunds.asp
Top 1% - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-top-1-wealthiest-canada-june-2019
Many corporations do not get direct business subsidies - https://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/11/introduction-to-government-subsidies.asp (Direct subsidies are loans,
grants, etc.)
Tax deductions are not subsidies. Corporations have to qualified for tax deductions - https://taxfoundation.org/corporate-tax-rates-around-world-2018/ - Countries need to be
competitive with all their tax, environmental and other government policies.
There are rules around income movement it is called transfer pricing. The rules have change based on BEPS - https://www.osler.com/en/resources/regulations/2018/canada-begins-
ratification-process-for-multilateral-tax-convention-to-implement-beps
You want to fixed income taxation then go after the tax code - https://www.brookings.edu/research/a-golden-opportunity-to-simplify-the-tax-system-options-for-reforming-a-
complex-tax-code/
Governments around the world need to go after tax havens - https://medium.com/@nslewis/tax-havens-make-gdp-screwy-c241430447d9 - Liberals refused to go after tax havens as
the panama papers have shown there are liberals with holdings in tax havens - https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/stephen-bronfman-trudeau-paradise-papers-1.4382511
Trudeau and Morneau have trust funds. Maybe it is time to go after trust funds - https://www.advisor.ca/tax/tax-news/cra-to-demand-more-info-on-trusts-beginning-in-2021/
Clean technology gets direct subsidies and you do not mention that issue, why? https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/total-destruction-of-the-market-investments-
in-clean-tech-cool-off-as-subsidies-ends - I guess you are ok with subsidizing power under the FIT agreement - https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-lost-up-to-1-2-
billion-selling-clean-energy-at-a-loss-engineers
Many # companies are just an easy way for people to set up a small business. Small business has already told the Liberals their tax policies are harming them, and you say nothing,
why? https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/small-business-under-attack-by-government-canada
16. What needs to
happen
Trudeau team needs to get the softwood lumber dispute
resolved and look at ways to expand lumber exports to
CETA and TPP -
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/economics/video/overall-
impact-of-softwood-lumber-dispute-minimal-for-canada-
economist~1108540
Trudeau’s team has too many radicals that are putting their
own interest over what is best for Canada. NR development
will lag until there is change in government
There lacks integrated strategy between all levels of
government to get projects off the ground
Canada needs to revisit its taxation and regulatory policies
More emphasis on the skill trades and engineering area as
part of supporting the natural resources sector.
Better partnering with NR companies as part of leaving a
legacy around for communities, i.e. roads, housing, water,
etc.
