Blog – Do Canadians have trust with Justin Trudeau and his Government – December 16, 2022
Justin Trudeau took power in October 2015 and promise to do government differently. Justin Trudeau MP Mary Ng was convicted of an ethical violation. Trudeau has neither been transparent nor open when it comes to his governance model.
Canada inflation is still stubbornly high. Liberals plan to hike payroll taxes as well as hiking the carbon tax. The Liberals seem to think by hiking interest rates it will force prices down due to lowering demand. The problem is the Liberals have done little to address issues with the supply chain.

Blog – Has Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau been Open, Transparent, and Accountable to Canadians – December 23, 2022
Canada’s inflation is now 6.8%. The BOC has targeted 2.1% for inflation. There would need to be a drastic shift in policies that would bring inflation down to 2.1%. Justin Trudeau has tax increases plan for CPP, EI, and carbon tax that will just add to input costs for business.
Canada regulatory and tax burden are doing little to address issues with innovation, productivity, and the skills gap. Liberals introduced innovation hubs that have never been effective in terms of spurning on innovation. Canada needs to re-think its innovation strategy! https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/policy-review-innovation-and-scientific-research-rd-canada
Justin Trudeau talks about making things more affordable but that has not been the case. Housing has hit least affordability since the 1980s. The 1980s was also when Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the PM - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/the-market/remember-when-what-have-we-learned-from-80s-interest-rates/article24398735/
Justin Trudeau continues to struggle with ethical violations. Mary Ng is the latest cabinet minister that was convicted of ethical violations. The problem is the ethics commissioner has little leeway in terms of discipline. The ethics commissioner should be moved to a governance office. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-to-improve-the-governance-model-for-the-public-sector-november-2022pptx or https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-says-it-sucks-when-ethics-breaches-occur-but-system-is-working-1.6202668
Little has been said about ESG reporting as it relates to the public sector. The compliance costs and how that impact overall cost of government. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/esg-hype-showing-signs-fatigue-000000873.html
Employment has rebounded, but there are still issues with job quality. Nearly 50% of the job vacancies pay less than the average wage. https://www.slideshare.net/secret/a44t0Drc83GD2G

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.

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
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%.

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.

Canada and USA need to find a path forward to resolve the softwood lumber dispute
There needs to a better balanced between climate change policies and growing the economy in a sustainable way
3D printing for housing needs to become mainstream

Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.

This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Summary:
More needs to be done to safeguard

Despite home prices lowering across the much of country, Canadians will still need to earn
more to be able to buy a home than compared to last year, according to a new report from
RateHub.
The report shows that homebuyers will need an annual income of $217,000 in Toronto as of
March 2023 to afford to buy a $1,118,500 home. That’s a $6,250 increase in income
compared to March 2022, even though the average home price fell by more than $200,000 in
the city in that time, according to RateHub.
You will also need to earn over $200,000 in Vancouver to afford a home, while the rest of the
country requires between $75,000 and $170,000.

https://twitter.com/OmarAlghabra/status/1646571611749842949
@OmarAlghabra your policies equate to throwing gasoline on a fire. The inflation target of 2.1% is
not achievable unless you have a shift in policy in areas like eliminating the carbon tax, addressing
innovation spending gaps, & improving productivity.

Over 2006-07 to 2021-22 the federal public service expanded from 335,000 [i] full-time equivalents (FTEs) to 413,000—an increase of 78,000 FTEs.
Based on the 2023-24 Departmental Plans [ii], the number of FTEs is expected to have reached 428,000 in 2022-23. [iii] This represents an increase of 23,000 FTEs compared to last year’s plans. The Canada Revenue Agency, Employment and Social Development Canada, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada account for two-thirds of this increase.
Based on current plans, the number of FTEs are then projected to decline, falling to 400,000 FTEs in 2025-26. That said, this projected decline still leaves the number of FTEs well above pre-pandemic levels (382,000 in 2019-20).
Moreover, current plans do not include additional FTEs that will likely result from new measures announced by the Government in Budget 2023, which amount to $57.0 billion in (net) new spending over 2022-23 to 2027-28.
