On a seasonally adjusted basis, sales in the food service and drinking places subsector were up (+20.3%) in June 2021 compared with the previous month, as restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic eased throughout the country. Receipts totalled $5.4 billion, reaching their highest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Full-service restaurants (+53.2%), drinking places (+82.3%), limited-service restaurants (+2.2%) and special food services (+9.1%) all saw increased sales.
Eight of the provinces reported higher sales, with the largest increases in dollar terms being in Ontario (+18.9%), Quebec (+31.9%), Alberta (+26.1%) and British Columbia (+16.2%). Nova Scotia also had a large increase in sales (+28.0%), following a sharp decline the previous month because of restrictions on dining in restaurants. Sales declined in Prince Edward Island (-2.4%) and Newfoundland (-0.5%), as these provinces eased some interprovincial travel restrictions later in the month.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, durable goods have been a major contributor to the increase in the CPI. Durable goods rose at a faster pace in August (+5.7%) compared with July (+5.0%), with passenger vehicles (+7.2%), furniture (+8.7%) and household appliances (+5.3%) contributing the most to the increase.
In addition, prices for services have accelerated for the fifth consecutive month, rising at a faster pace in August (+2.7%) compared with July (+2.6%) amid easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Year over year, prices for traveller accommodation rose 19.3%. Reopening of businesses and summer travel contributed to the price increases.
Prices rose in seven of the eight major components in August, with transportation prices contributing the most to the all-items increase. Conversely, consumers paid less for clothing and footwear, as prices declined year over year.

This presentation looks at different areas of policy as a way to help Canadians to ask questions on whether or not Justin Trudeau and his team have been open, transparent, and accountable to Canadians.
Has Justin Trudeau been Open, Transparent, and Accountable to Canada?paul young cpa, cga
Summary
In 2015 is when Justin Trudeau promised to be the most open, honest, transparent, and accountable government in Canadian history. Over the past 6+ years has seen Trudeau shut down committees, call an election during a pandemic for power, convicted of numerous ethical violations, handing out contracts to liberal friendly supporters, highest inflation in nearly 20 years, housing that is no longer affordable to many Canadians.

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.

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.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

5. INTRODUCTION
• Liberals ran a platform on being
more open and transparent when
it came to governing Canada -
https://www.liberal.ca/openness-
and-transparency/
• This presentation will discuss key
failures when it comes to open
and transparent government

7. JUSTIN TRUDEAU OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
GOVERNMENT
2015 Election Campaign
• Trudeau has failed on access to information -
https://ipolitics.ca/2018/03/28/trust-me-trudeau-has-forgotten-
what-got-him-elected/ “If that’s the test, the Liberals have
flunked, big time. After three years in power, openness has
given way to opacity. Just this week, it took a grilling by the
opposition to get the Prime Minister to admit that he received
an overnight bag from the Aga Khan as a gift during his now-
infamous vacation on Bell Island. Trudeau hadn’t disclosed the
gift because it was deemed “unacceptable” by the Ethics
Commissioner, and thus did not have to be publicly disclosed
due to the wording of the Conflict of Interest Act, which only
requires the disclosure of “acceptable” gifts over the amount of
$200, other than those from a relative or friend. Trudeau still
refuses to reveal the value of the gift or what happened to it,
and while it might appear petty to insist on knowing whether
the bag was Walmart or Vuitton, that’s what you get when you
win power over promises to “do things differently” from your
secretive predecessors.”

11. ETHICAL VIOLATIONS / LIBERALS
• Trudeau never truly accepted the ruling from the
ethics commissioner.
• Trudeau was also convicted of another ethical
violations (gift) -

issues
12. LAVAGATE
• New Minister of Justice refuses to open up the Justice
Committee to debating the Lavalin case -
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/ag-sees-no-
justification-for-probe-of-alleged-pmo-interference-in-
snc-lavalin-case-1.4289301
• Liberals again are hiding information for their own
reasons.
• Failing to open up the what happen with PMO
and Jody Wilson-Raybould means the Liberals are
neither transparent nor open when it comes to
information.
13. RCMP AND LAVALIN
• Liberals have restricted RCMP
investigation due to cabinet
confidentiality -

The Liberals seem to be going away from performance audits, why?
https://www.hilltimes.com/2019/06/03/202293/202293 - The 2016 annual report showed performance
audits of 34.9M as compare to 2019 which is showing 32.9M. The Liberals have scaled back performance
audits.
• Liberals are holding audits on sustainable areas despite trying to push their green agenda
20. FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND POLICIES
Trudeau said Canada is back
when it comes Foreign Policies
Globe is so far off! @JustinTrudeau has been failure on Foreign
Policy. @stephenharper was very solid.
I am suspecting that Globe is only looking at the UN angle
rather than country by country relationship!

https://www.thepostmillennial.com/canada-is-using-online-
outrage-to-make-dangerous-changes-to-the-criminal-code/
“But the public is being misled.
Wilson-Raybould later tempered her Twitter pronouncement
by saying she wasn’t talking about any specific case, but the
message was clear: she would “fix” the law so future Gerald
Stanleys would be convicted.
The solution was Bill C-75, which has now passed third reading
in parliament.
Joseph Neuberger, a Canadian criminal lawyer and legal expert
warns that “this was a knee jerk reaction to one high profile
case that makes for very bad law and can lead to increased
time for jury trials and harms fairness for accused individuals.”

• There is no disclosure of the settlement made to Mark Norman -
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/conservative-senator-rips-trudeau-over-secret-mark-

on the scales of justice,” Henein said of politics that went all the way to the top. “And I
know Canadians are paying close attention.”

27. CARBON TAX MISINFORMATION
• https://globalnews.ca/news/4586374/carbon-tax-rebate-what-you-need-to-know/
•
• How so? The carbon tax would cost people an extra $1,100 to 1,800 through higher
costs. The tax rebate would be lucky to cover 10% of the cost. Liberals are lying as
they normally do because they do not consider the complete past through of the
carbon to consumer goods, household expenses, etc.

@Andrewscheer seems to have completed all the nominations, right? https://www.conservative.ca/team/2019-

Trudeau seems to have different view of open and transparency when it comes to his party!
32. BLOG #2 – OPEN AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT
@justintrudeau never seems to grasp either accountability or open govt. People should look at Trudeau ethical
issues as well as how cases like Lavalin and Norman were handled by the PMO
@andrewscheer understands accountability and transparency as he served under Harper.

33. BLOG #3 – ETHICS / LAVALIN
• Birds of a feather flock together. @JustinTrudeau is no role model either for his MPs or Canadians as he has proven numerous
times that honesty, integrity, openness and accountability does not apply to him.
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-open-and-transparent-government-canada-august-2019
• Liberals under Trudeau will never be about what is best for Canada, but what is best for their agenda. All you must do is look at
what happen at the ethics committee meeting on August 21, 2019:
• @stevenmackinnon nice arrogant approach at the ethics committee. I hate to say it you are pure example why people need to
vote out your party. The DPA does not include jobs!
• @PierrePoilievre
• Steve does not seem to look at GDP details.
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-gdp-and-growing-the-economy-canada-may-2019 . Lavalin also said no
jobs were at stake https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/snc-lavalin-job-losses-1.5071833
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/justin-trudeau-scorecard-2015-to-2019-august-2019
@andrewscheer if you want to sway voters then I suggest instead of attacking repeatedly the Lavalin affair that you just show how
you would be more open and transparent:
• More performance audits
• Ethics commissioner office goes into independent group
• Attorney General is separated into a separate department
• Anyone convicted of any ethics violation will be kick out of your party
34. CHANGES TO STATS CANADA REPORTS
• Stats Canada reports are good reports to use
along other reports as part of assessing both
government policies as well as the
performance of the economy.
• Liberals used to include graphs with many of
their reports, but that seems to have gone
out the window. Individuals can do their own
graph, but that would require work
• Liberals seem to be looking at more ways to
keep information from view.
35. ANITA VANDENBELD
Source - https://globalnews.ca/news/5479996/anita-vandenbeld-ottawa-guilty-ethics-code/
An Ottawa member of Parliament violated conflict-of-interest
rules when she asked voters to elect her husband to Ottawa
city council last year, says Canada’s ethics watchdog.
• Anita is on the ethics committee with her own violation. Anita should have been replaced by another MP was not
• Anita voted against having the ethics commissioner testified at emergency hearing on the Lavalin / Trudeau ethical
conviction - https://globalnews.ca/news/5792866/andrew-scheer-ethics-committee-snc-lavalin/ “Liberals Steve
MacKinnon, Mona Fortier, Michel Picard, Frank Baylis and Anita Vandenbeld — who was herself found last month by
Dion to have broken federal ethics rules — voted against the motion to invite the watchdog. Liberal Nathaniel
Erskine-Smith, Conservatives Lisa Raitt and Peter Kent, and the NDP’s Charlie Angus supported the motion.”
36. AMAZON FIRES
• Trudeau promises $16M to fight Amazon fires
• No where has Trudeau said he will ask for oversight and performance audit to ensure the money is spent on sustainable forestry
practices
• G7 plans to support $20M, but Canada for its own reason which are politically motivated is providing an additional funding of $16M

comprehensive audits -

his UN Seat tour - https://globalnews.ca/news/6596527/trudeau-security-council-africa/
39. COVID19 AND DR TAM
I have no doubt Ms Tam is very bright as I review his past positions. My concerns are that Tam likely is being gag and/or control
by Trudeau in terms of statements and policies.
Background:
It appears that Dr Theresa Tam led the leadership team on SARS. If so, then why did MS Tam not review the playbook for SARS –
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92465/
It seems like Ms. Tam has been relegated to say what PMO tell her to say or do in terms of policies and statements?
https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/the-road-to-canadas-covid-19-outbreak-pt-2-timeline-of-federal-government-
failure-at-border-to-slow-the-virus-2/. It is Trudeau team that controls the message of the public sector.
Bio/Tam:
https://www.who.int/about/who_reform/emergency-capacities/oversight-committee/theresa-tam/en/
@telfordk @JustinTrudeau seem to control what is said or done by public officials. I thought Trudeau said he would
be more open and transparent including releasing the gag order for people to speak freely?

• The government has pledged $912 million for the CSSG, but it's not clear how much WE Charity will receive. Trudeau said WE Charity won't
make a profit but will be paid to administer the program.

Brothers, Big Sisters and Pathways to Education.

changes to the federal wage subsidy in a failed bid to make his new employer eligible for the multi-billion-dollar aid program. According to two
sources with knowledge of the situation, Silver, senior vice-president, strategy, policy, risk at private mortgage company MCAP, approached ex-
Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s office in April asking for legislative changes to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). Vice News first
reported the story on Friday. In his dealings with Morneau’s office, Silver, who is not a registered lobbyist and whose wife Katie Telford has worked
as Trudeau’s chief of staff since 2015, even went so far as to suggest a specific wording for the legislative change he was seeking, according to one
source.” - https://www.thewhig.com/news/politics/katie-telfords-husband-pressed-trudeau-government-to-make-changes-to-wage-subsidy-law-to-

“Criminologist Anthony Doob says he won't accept a reappointment to lead the independent review panel without serious changes
given his treatment by Correctional Services Canada and Public Safety Minister Bill Blair.”
• The liberal made changes to legal system including incarcerate as part of the rehabilitation of prisoners. The problem
has been many changes led to criminals being treated better than their victims

The first accused the government of having failed to provide detailed information in its recent request to Parliament for
$79 billion in added spending authority. "While the sum of these measures is significant, the amount of information
that is publicly available to track this spending is lacking, thus making it more challenging for parliamentarians to
perform their critical role in overseeing government spending and holding it to account," reads the report

@TerryDuguid
Why are you creating another dept, especially as water management falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces? All you need to
do is create a central database that can be updated by provinces and local governments as it relates to water management
https://www2.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/water-management-canada-and-the-world-november-2020
The Government of Canada announced $5.1 million in funding to support 46 new projects to protect and restore the Great Lakes
through the Great Lakes Protection Initiative in 2020–21 Source - https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/environment-and-
safety/canada-invests-5-1m-in-great-lakes-protection-263564/ (This is more about buying votes than sound policies. There should
be coordination with the Province of Ontario along with MN, Ohio, PA, NY, MI, and WI in terms of water quality.
Canada Water Agency
• Creating a cohesive system for managing Canada’s fresh water is a tall order. Currently, responsibilities for freshwater
management are shared among federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, and Indigenous peoples. At the
federal level alone, more than 20 departments and agencies have some responsibility for fresh water
• There are federal acts like fisheries or water acts - https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/water-
overview/governance-legislation/federal-policy.html or https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/corporate/international-

• Provinces already do audits of water management
• Municipalities also do audits of their water management based on provincial and federal acts.
• First nations need investment not another agency - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stefanovich-liberal-long-term-drinking-water-promise-1.5780403

Over 110,000 federal workers were granted paid leave so far during the pandemic, according to a new report
from the Parliamentary Budget Office.
Published Tuesday, the report — collated from data collected from 84 of 90 federal public service organizations
– states 113,362 federal civil servants booked time off between March and September under the “Code 699
paid leave for other reasons” payroll code, costing the government civil service over $1.1-billion.
90. SKILLS TRAINING GAPS / MANUFACTURING
I did not see where @cafreeland discussed increasing the transfers to CST to support the skill trades. I did hear Freeland discuss the green economy
and daycare. Manufacturing is still around 10% of GDP as such needs policies that support its expansion!

Blog – Skills Shortage – Manufacturing – Canada
80% of Canadian manufacturers surveyed in a new report are facing an immediate labor and skills shortage that was made worse by the COVID-19
pandemic.
TORONTO — 80% of Canadian manufacturers surveyed in a new report are facing an immediate labor and skills shortage that was made worse by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
A Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters survey of 563 companies across 19 sectors released Dec. 1 found the need for skilled laborer's has been
growing rapidly for years, but COVID-19 government relief, health concerns and family responsibilities are making the situation even more
troublesome.
“Our skills gap that existed before the pandemic was just exacerbated by the pandemic and we need to make sure that everybody is working toward
getting that next generation of workers in the sector,” said Dennis Darby, president of the CME.
His organization, which represents more than 2,500 companies across the country, said 70% of manufacturers had a shortage of labor and skills in 2018,
up from 40% in 2016.

91. DAYCARE
This typical from Adam and the LPC which is
to blame someone else for their mistakes.
Hey Adam, Did the Liberal not promise back
in 1993 a National Daycare?
You had 4 years to do daycare when you have
a majority govt and did not, right?

92. CHINA AND VACCINES Three members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet who are most involved in
plans to procure COVID-19 vaccines will be called before a Commons committee to
explain how a sizable investment early on in the pandemic to manufacture doses
domestically did not bear fruit.
Health Minister Patty Hajdu, Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand,
and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains will
each be summoned to testify before the House breaks for the winter holidays, in
accordance with a motion adopted by the industry committee on Tuesday.
Their appearances will be part of the committee’s emergency study of $44 million
that Ottawa spent on upgrades to the National Research Council’s (NRC) Royalmount
vaccine production facility in Montreal.
The investment was suggested as part of a partnership with Chinese vaccine producer
CanSino Biologics in May to “support upgrades to the NRC’s facilities in Montreal
… to ensure readiness for Canadian bioprocessing of potential vaccine candidates as
they become available.” The facility was originally supposed to produce 250,000
vaccine doses by November.

Best? It is about access to vaccines in a timely fashion which your govt failed. You bank on China which failed. You then had to backpedal to work with other
biotech companies to secure dosage after the fact!

93. GDP / SEPT 2020
• Canada had a structural deficit of $13.9B heading into COVID19
• Economy needs policies that will encourage FDI and capital
investment
• Pass deficits did nothing for GDP. Post 2009 recession GDP was
running at 2.3% as compare to 2% under LPC

98. PAROLE
This is what you get for electing @DavidLametti @BillBlair and other liberals to office. Liberals decided
that their parole and rehabilitation would be based on feelings and not sound policies.
