Liberal of Canada record on Major Policy since 2015
Here is a scorecard on the Liberal's policies since they form government in 2015.
How to Advance the Circular Economy through Climate Mitigation Policies
Blog – Growing the Circular Economy through better Climate Mitigation Policies
I support better policies that encourage both the private and public sectors to move their operation model to zero-waste. More work needs to be done on policies related to waste-to-energy (CCA) or abolishing carbon taxation or streamlining of regulations and taxes or tax credits for environmental work, i.e., tree plant or water management or other areas of the environment.

Liberals have no real plan to deal with resiliency when it comes to supporting the economy!
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-do-you-best-support-urban-planning-rural-vs-urban
There needs to be more effective strategy when it comes to urban planning including climate change mitigation, affordable housing, traffic congestion, supply chain disruption, green transit solution, optimization of transits, etc.

a. Risk mitigation through mandatory crisis and emergency planning and reporting
b. Building resiliency with the supply chain

Global Emissions and Environmental Policy
Blog – Emissions and Environmental Policies – 2019 Analysis
1. https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/greenhouse-gas-emissions/sources-sinks-executive-summary-2020.html - After hovering between 700 and 720 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) in recent years, in 2018 (the most recent annual dataset in this report) Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased to 729 Mt CO2 eq. This increase is attributed to higher fuel consumption for transportation, winter heating and oil and gas extraction. Over the long term, Canada’s economy has grown more rapidly than its GHG emissions: the emissions intensity for the entire economy (GHG per Gross Domestic Product [GDP]) has declined by 36% since 1990 and 20% since 2005. Emission trends since 2005 remain consistent, with emission increases in the Oil and Gas and Transportation sectors being offset by decreases in other sectors, notably Electricity and Heavy Industry

Wealth and Taxation Fairness - November 2021
Blog – Tax Fairness and Wealth Taxation – Canada and the World – November 2021
The average total income for all tax filers grew 0.7% to $51,000 in 2019. However, total income grew at a faster pace for tax filers at the top of the income distribution compared with those in the middle or at the bottom.
Average total income for the top 1 percent of Canadian tax filers grew 1.8% in 2019, compared with a 0.8% increase among the bottom 50 percent. Average income was relatively unchanged for those in the upper middle of the distribution (51st to the 90th percentiles).
Moreover, the average total income growth for the top 0.1 percent (+5.5%) and the top 0.01 percent (+13.9%) of tax filers greatly outpaced those in the top 1 percent.
The growth in the total income of high-income tax filers was largely driven by dividend income. For example, while average employment income for tax filers in the top 1 percent increased by half a percentage point in 2019, their average dividend income grew by 10.5%. The average dividend incomes grew even faster for tax filers in the top 0.1% (+18.9%) and top 0.01% (+34.8%) in 2019
Canadian tax filers spent, on average, 11.8% of their modified total income on federal, provincial/territorial income taxes and employee contributions to Employment Insurance and the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan (federal payroll taxes) in 2019, unchanged from 2018.

Wealth and Taxation Fairness - November 2021
Blog – Tax Fairness and Wealth Taxation – Canada and the World – November 2021
The average total income for all tax filers grew 0.7% to $51,000 in 2019. However, total income grew at a faster pace for tax filers at the top of the income distribution compared with those in the middle or at the bottom.
Average total income for the top 1 percent of Canadian tax filers grew 1.8% in 2019, compared with a 0.8% increase among the bottom 50 percent. Average income was relatively unchanged for those in the upper middle of the distribution (51st to the 90th percentiles).
Moreover, the average total income growth for the top 0.1 percent (+5.5%) and the top 0.01 percent (+13.9%) of tax filers greatly outpaced those in the top 1 percent.
The growth in the total income of high-income tax filers was largely driven by dividend income. For example, while average employment income for tax filers in the top 1 percent increased by half a percentage point in 2019, their average dividend income grew by 10.5%. The average dividend incomes grew even faster for tax filers in the top 0.1% (+18.9%) and top 0.01% (+34.8%) in 2019
Canadian tax filers spent, on average, 11.8% of their modified total income on federal, provincial/territorial income taxes and employee contributions to Employment Insurance and the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan (federal payroll taxes) in 2019, unchanged from 2018.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE June 23 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the Week-Ending June 23 2023
Stocks fell on Friday, with all major averages ending the week lower as investors come to terms with the prospect of more interest-rate hikes ahead from the Federal Reserve.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped 0.76%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) slipped 218 points, or 0.64%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the declines, falling 1.01%. The Nasdaq had its first weekly loss in the last eight, while the S&P 500 snapped a five-week win streak.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell doubled down on his view on Thursday that more rate increases are needed to temper inflation, joining a global chorus of hawkish central banks.
That's revived some worries about the potential hit to economies, though Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she now sees a lower risk of US recession. But a red-hot reading in a key gauge of Japanese inflation has underlined the pressures on policymakers.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 28 2023.pptx
Summary:
Stocks ended higher over a week notable for the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s notching its 13th consecutive daily gain on Wednesday, which marked its longest winning streak since 1987. However, T. Rowe Price traders noted that trading was relatively subdued, as the summer vacation season diverted some of the focus on a slew of important data releases, a Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting, and some high-profile corporate earnings reports. Growth stocks handily outpaced their value counterparts, and the gains were led by the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite.
Sentiment appeared to get a boost from a series of generally positive economic readings, particularly on inflation. Stocks opened sharply higher on Friday, following news that the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core (less food and energy) personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index had risen 0.2% in June, down from 0.3% in May, making for a year-over-year increase of 4.1%, a tick lower than expectations and the slowest increase since September 2021. In addition, the employment cost index—closely watched because of policymakers’ continued concern about wage inflation—rose 1.0% in the second quarter, also below consensus and the smallest increase in two years.

• US stocks traded mixed Friday, with the Dow capping off a 10-day winning streak.
• It's the longest run of gains for the index since August 2017.
• Next week investors will be watching big earnings from Microsoft and Meta, as well as a Fed meeting.
US stocks traded mixed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average eking out a gain to cap off a 10-day winning streak, its longest stretch in the green since August 2017.
To close the week, American Express, oil firm Schlumberger, and advertising company Interpublic Group all reported earnings. More than 70% of the companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, according to FactSet data.
Meanwhile, investors will be watching to see what policymakers announce at next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Many strategists expect a 0.25% interest rate hike, following last month's "skip."
A quarter-point hike to the 5.25%-5.50% range would "more than likely mark the end of a historic tightening cycle," EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco wrote in a note Friday. "But those expecting a fanfare will be disappointed as the Fed will make every (too many) efforts to sound as hawkish as tolerable for financial markets, to avoid an undesired easing of financial conditions."

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

Blog – Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for the week-ending June 30 2023
Stocks climbed Friday, ending a strong first half on a high note amid more signs of cooling from the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 1.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose over 300 points, or just under 1%. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) added 1.5%.
All three major stock benchmarks logged strong performances for both the year's second quarter and first half. The Nasdaq is up more than 30% since the start of the year, according to Yahoo Finance data. That represented its best first half of the year since 1983, according to data from Bespoke Investment.
The benchmark S&P 500 has gained around 16%, while the Dow has put up a more modest 4% gain.
On Friday, the Fed's preferred inflation index showed prices rose 3.8% in May on a year-over-year basis, down from a 4.4% year-over-year jump in April. And from April to May, prices ticked up just 0.1%.
The data comes after a surprise upward revision to first-quarter GDP showed the US economy is a lot stronger than Wall Street thought. Growing faith in that strength has helped drive this year's rally in stocks, even though that resilience likely means rates will stay higher for longer.

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 4, 2023
Summary:
Stocks flipped into the red Friday afternoon after looking set to rebound earlier in the session, putting the cap on a rough first few days in August as the jobs report's release took center stage and an earnings-heavy calendar continued.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished down 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped by 0.4% after gaining as much as 1% earlier in the session.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down more than 2% to end the first week of August trading.
The July jobs report showed continued cooling in the labor market, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 187,000 last month while the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.5%. The numbers will serve as a key indicator for the Fed as it determines whether to halt its interest rate hiking campaign next month.
Elsewhere, Amazon (AMZN) stock was buzzing Friday, finishing more than 8% after earnings beat all around, combined with rosy guidance for the near term. Apple (AAPL), by contrast, was down almost 5% after the iPhone maker reported sluggish sales of that flagship product and a third straight quarter of declining revenue overall.

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending June 16 2023
US stocks lost steam on Friday as a recent rally took a pause amid signs of a resilient economy that boosted hopes the Federal Reserve could end its rate-hike campaign soon.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished down about 0.3% on Friday, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down 0.7%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq still finished the week with their best gains since March.
In economic data, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index showed consumers are slightly more confident about the state of the economy, which could help tilt a "hawkish" Fed closer to a July rate hike.
The June preliminary number came in at 63.9, compared to expectations of 60.5, according to estimates from Bloomberg. The index had dipped to 59.2 last month in its first fall since February.
Global stocks got a lift from growing expectations that China will have to bump up stimulus as its recovery stutters.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptx
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

• The S&P 500 is up about 20% from its mid-October lows, a threshold that could indicate a new bull market.
• The economy has defied expectations for a slowdown in the face of higher interest rates. Central banks are taking notice, with the RBA and BoC surprising markets with more tightening.
• We think the foundation of a new bull market is formed, but an economic slowdown is still possibly ahead of us. Pandemic distortions have made this cycle unique by delaying, but likely not cancelling, the impact of higher rates.
• The upcoming CPI release and Fed meeting are likely to set the tone for the remainder of the summer.
• We would view any renewed phase of volatility as an opportunity to position for a more sustainable rebound that is likely to have broader shoulders than what we have currently seen.
• We recommend investors stay close to their strategic, long-term allocation for most asset classes that make up a well-diversified portfolio, including bonds which offer historically attractive yields.

Blog – Analysis of the Stock Market for WE August 11, 2023
Summary:
Stocks ended the session mixed on Friday as investors reacted to a report showing wholesale prices rose more than expected in July.
The Nasdaq fell 0.7% while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid at the open but recovered to close up about 0.3%. The Dow was the only index to post gains for the week, rising 0.6%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both lost ground for the second week in a row, falling 0.3% and 1.9%, respectively.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.3% last month after increasing 0.1% in June. Economists had expected wholesale inflation to rise, but only to 0.2%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also climbed 0.3%, up from 0.1% in June. The data comes a day after the Consumer Price Index rose 0.2% for the second straight month, a rate nearly consistent with the Fed's 2% inflation target

What is up with the Stock Market for WE - May 19 2023.pptx
Blog – Analysis and Commentary of Global Markets for the Week-Ending May 19, 2023
Summary:
The Dow industrials clocked their first gain in three weeks. The S&P 500 snapped short-term resistance and posted its strongest weekly close since August. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq shook off distribution days and rallied to its best week since March, and also its highest close since August. The stock market still has plenty of ailments that could trip things up in the wink of an eye: banks, debt ceiling negotiations, Fed rate decisions, commercial real estate defaults. But, for now, there are enough bullish signals for investors to boost levels of exposure.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptx
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.

Manufacturing Sector – United States – August 2023.pptx
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
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.pptx
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%.

World Merchandise Trade – September 2023.pptx
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.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.

how can i use my minded pi coins I need some funds.
If you are interested in selling your pi coins, i have a verified pi merchant, who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
Because the core team has announced that pi network will not be doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges like huobi, bitmart and hotbit can get pi is by buying from miners.
Now a merchant stands in between these exchanges and the miners. As a link to make transactions smooth. Because right now in the enclosed mainnet you can't sell pi coins your self. You need the help of a merchant,

The United Nations Human Settlements Program estimates that 1.6 billion people live in inadequate housing, and the best data available suggest that more than 100 million people have no housing at all. Homelessness is growing in many parts of the world, occurs in all nations, and has severe negative impacts on individuals and on communities. Homelessness is a complex issue, sitting at the intersection of public health, housing affordability, domestic violence, mental illness, substance misuse, urbanization, racial and gender discrimination, infrastructure, and unemployment. The interplay between these elements is expressed in a host of ways depending upon local context. Levels of homelessness rise and fall dependent on shifts in, and changes to, any one of the elements. But there is good news: this problem can be solved. Countries and cities across the world have seen steep reductions in homelessness, and some have ended it outright. With the right mix of program interventions, well-coordinated local systems, and effective policy, many countries have proved that homelessness can be successfully addressed. https://thefulcrum.ca/opinions/letter-to-the-editor-why-homelessness-is-rarely-a-major-topic-during-election- campaigns/ or https://ighomelessness.org/about-us/ My work: https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/housing-and-homelessness-canada-and-the-world-july-2021
