How to reduce Inflation in Canada.pptx
Inflation rate was 1% in October 2015 when Justin Trudeau took office. The inflation rate rose to 2.2% in Feb/20 that was on par with BOC inflation target.
Inflation rose to 4% in September 2021. September. There were major issues with supply chain.
July 2022 seen a dropped in inflation, but that was minor drop as fuel and food costs continue to be very high
Justin Trudeau continues to talk about making things more affordable and then introduces the fuel added tax (June 2022 - https://www.osler.com/en/resources/regulations/2022/canada-s-new-clean-fuel-standard-obligations-for-liquid-fuel-suppliers-and-opportunities-for-low-c) and carbon taxation with escalation (https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/pricing-pollution-how-it-will-work.html. Trudeau has decided against eliminating new fuel taxes. Trudeau continues to say Canadians via the climate tax credit are getting more back. The PBO debunk that statements early in 2022 - https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/there-is-going-to-be-a-cost-federal-carbon-pricing-to-generate-net-loss-for-households-pbo-finds
The reality is Justin Trudeau policies have made inflation worse. Trudeau was warned about inflation months ago but chose to brush it off. The BNS call out the latest spending plan on inflation more about putting gasoline on a fire.
Trudeau was elected in 2015 is when he inherited an economy growing on average at 2.3%. Trudeau decided that his focus was going to be on a progressive agenda. The problem is Trudeau has never balanced a budget despite higher revenues. Trudeau policies did little to address either the government delivery model or make Canada more competitive - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/fiscal-and-economic-scorecard-canada-june-2022-and-july-2022pptx

U.S. sawmills in March produced 3.392 billion board ft. (bbf) of softwood lumber, a decrease of 2.3% from March 2022, but up 20.2% compared with February 2023’s 2.823 bbf, according to the Western Wood Products Assn.’s Lumber Track report for March, dated June 7.
Western U.S. sawmills in March contributed 1.209 bbf to the total, down 11.9% from the prior year’s 1.372 bbf, while output from Southern sawmills rose 4.4% year-over-year to 2.031 bbf from 1.946 bbf. Compared with February, Western and Southern sawmill production increased 20.7% and 19.9%, respectively.
Apparent U.S. softwood lumber consumption in March was 4.573 bbf, down 4.4% from 4.785 bbf in March 2022 but 17.5% higher than 3.893 bbf in February.

Electrical Vehicles and their Adoption - January 2022
Summary:
Electrical vehicles continue to expand their market presence. There are still significant challenges with adoption including access to plug-in stations, cost of charging the battery, cost to mine/refine/fabricate ion batteries is very taxing on the environment.
Governments around the world will also need to address the loss revenue from fuel taxes by looking at new model for electrical vehicles including plug-in station charge tax, mileage tax (km or mile driven), registration tax, environmental taxes, and other taxes.
Government should also re-look at its tax incentive systems, especially as many governments are struggling with both debt and deficits.

What's next for natural gas (lng)
Natural gas markets have fallen during the trading session on Monday, showing signs of weakness yet again. We have turned around to hang onto the uptrend line of the triangle that I have marked on the chart, so it will be interesting to see whether we can stay above here. It now looks as if the $5.00 level is going to continue to offer issues, but at this point we have sliced through enough times that I think the resistance is more psychological than structural.

What is next for Natural Gas - June 2023.pptx
Blog – Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – June 2023
Inventories Significantly Higher
Total gas inventories in the United States remained significantly higher than the previous year. They are standing at 2.729 trillion cubic feet (tcf), a 26.5% increase. This level was also 15.3% higher than the five-year average. The combination of anticipated demand and increased inventories contributed to the mixed performance of natural gas futures in the market.
Stable Natural Gas Futures
In summary, U.S. natural gas futures experienced limited movement as a result of a larger-than-expected storage build and forecasts of increased demand. While maintenance work on LNG export plants affected gas flows, the market remained optimistic due to anticipated hot weather and rising cooling demand.

Global Automotive - September 2022.pptx
Blog – Global Automotive Analysis and Commentary – September 2022
Summary:
14% of the global automotive sales are now zev/Hybrid vehicles
The cost of vehicles continues to go up, especially electrical due to higher lithium
Canada has 800K less vehicle production than it did back in the mid 2010s.
Little has been said about the environmental impact on water tables and tailing ponds when it comes to mining of cobalt, lithium, and critical metals. The fossil fuel industry gets hammered for their emissions, but little is said about mining operations related to critical metals
The grid across the world will require trillions to support net zero approach to emissions

Electrical Vehicles and their Adoption - January 2022
Summary:
Electrical vehicles continue to expand their market presence. There are still significant challenges with adoption including access to plug-in stations, cost of charging the battery, cost to mine/refine/fabricate ion batteries is very taxing on the environment.
Governments around the world will also need to address the loss revenue from fuel taxes by looking at new model for electrical vehicles including plug-in station charge tax, mileage tax (km or mile driven), registration tax, environmental taxes, and other taxes.
Government should also re-look at its tax incentive systems, especially as many governments are struggling with both debt and deficits.

What's next for natural gas (lng)
Natural gas markets have fallen during the trading session on Monday, showing signs of weakness yet again. We have turned around to hang onto the uptrend line of the triangle that I have marked on the chart, so it will be interesting to see whether we can stay above here. It now looks as if the $5.00 level is going to continue to offer issues, but at this point we have sliced through enough times that I think the resistance is more psychological than structural.

Blog – Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – June 2023
Inventories Significantly Higher
Total gas inventories in the United States remained significantly higher than the previous year. They are standing at 2.729 trillion cubic feet (tcf), a 26.5% increase. This level was also 15.3% higher than the five-year average. The combination of anticipated demand and increased inventories contributed to the mixed performance of natural gas futures in the market.
Stable Natural Gas Futures
In summary, U.S. natural gas futures experienced limited movement as a result of a larger-than-expected storage build and forecasts of increased demand. While maintenance work on LNG export plants affected gas flows, the market remained optimistic due to anticipated hot weather and rising cooling demand.

Summary:
14% of the global automotive sales are now zev/Hybrid vehicles
The cost of vehicles continues to go up, especially electrical due to higher lithium
Canada has 800K less vehicle production than it did back in the mid 2010s.
Little has been said about the environmental impact on water tables and tailing ponds when it comes to mining of cobalt, lithium, and critical metals. The fossil fuel industry gets hammered for their emissions, but little is said about mining operations related to critical metals
The grid across the world will require trillions to support net zero approach to emissions

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%.

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.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population aging
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.

However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.

The bottom line is NDP promises are too rich to what Ontario can afford. Ontario must restructure its government as well as introduced policies that will support economic growth. The last time NDP was in power in the 1990s both jobs and investment went south due to NDP’s policies. Canada has tripled its wind, solar, etc since 2011. There are parts of Canada that have very high energy costs that have led to energy poverty It is amazing how @AndreaHorwath all but ignores energy poverty, right? https://www.summitt.ca/higher-energy-prices-fueling-energy-poverty-in-canada I see no solution from the NDP
