This document discusses several key policies and issues related to Indigenous affairs in Canada. It summarizes the Liberal Party's 2015 election platform which focused on reconciliation and respecting Indigenous rights and title. It also discusses challenges such as underfunding of critical water infrastructure projects on reserves, the need for financial transparency among bands, and the complex issues around modernizing the Indian Act. Overall, the document analyzes both the Trudeau government's approach and ongoing areas that require attention regarding Indigenous policy in Canada.

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.

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.
Justin Trudeau made many promises back in 2015 including being open, transparent, and accountable. This presentation looks at many areas of policy. The readers of this report can make their own decisions on whether Trudeau has been open, transparent, and accountable to Canadians.

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.

Bottom Line: A variety of special factors landed on an already tough base effect to produce the highest reading on Canadian inflation in almost two decades in July. It is important to note that even with the gaudy headline readings, the two-year pace—which removes base effects—is still running close to 2% on most major measures. And, we remain comfortable with our forecasts on CPI for this year and next; we had been calling for an average rate of 3% this year and just a snick below in 2022 (2.9% to be precise). Having said all that, it is always notable when the surprises all land on one side of the ledger—the high side—and that has been the case for most the year in North American price readings. Risks remain to the high side on inflation until further notice.

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.

Bottom Line: A variety of special factors landed on an already tough base effect to produce the highest reading on Canadian inflation in almost two decades in July. It is important to note that even with the gaudy headline readings, the two-year pace—which removes base effects—is still running close to 2% on most major measures. And, we remain comfortable with our forecasts on CPI for this year and next; we had been calling for an average rate of 3% this year and just a snick below in 2022 (2.9% to be precise). Having said all that, it is always notable when the surprises all land on one side of the ledger—the high side—and that has been the case for most the year in North American price readings. Risks remain to the high side on inflation until further notice.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Canada is ethnic diverse culture, but illegal border crossing is starting to impact the funding of social services
The Liberals have refused to designate all border crossing illegals
Opposition questions the border crossing the government goes off on tangent saying “Opposition voted down the moneys for borders and refugees)
All the opposition as well as majority Canadians want is for the borders to be secure and that people go through the proper process to immigrate to Canada
Canada is heading to a very dangerous slope when it comes to supporting the influx of refugees.

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.

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.

There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

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.

First, as a matter of national priority, we will develop a Federal Reconciliation Framework,
created in full partnership with Aboriginal Peoples.
Reconciliation starts with recognizing and respecting Aboriginal title and rights, including
Treaty rights. A Liberal government will do just that. Not only in accordance with Constitutional
obligations, but also with those enshrined in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples. Something the current government has steadfastly refused to do.
To this end, we will conduct a full review of the legislation unilaterally imposed on Aboriginal
Peoples by Stephen Harper’s government, through the lens of section 35 of the Constitution.
Where measures are found to be in conflict with Aboriginal rights, where they are inconsistent
with the principles of good governance, or where they simply make no public policy sense, we
will rescind them.
5. JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND INDIGENOUS
Source - http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/renewed-relationship-indigenous-1.4286699
The seemingly never-ending string of transgressions from a government that's supposed to be
resetting its relationship with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples just got another addition.
Earlier this month, the Prime Minister's Office announced in a news release that Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau will meet with premiers and Indigenous leaders on Oct. 3, boasting about Canada's "progress
towards a true nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown, and government-to-government relationship."
The problem was, at least one of those Indigenous leaders, Natan Obed, president of the Inuit Tapiriit
Kanatami, said the announcement was the first he heard about the meeting.
Oops. Uh, what were you saying about Canada's progress?
"It does frustrate me but it's also just indicative of where we are," Obed told CBC.
"If you want it to be about benchmarks about two years in, this is where we are."

7. LAPSING FUNDS/INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS
Source - http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberals-left-900-million-unspent-last-year-at-indigenous-affairs
Like the Harper government before it, the Trudeau government left billions of dollars unspent on everything from
national parks to veterans services to economic development grants during the 2015-16 fiscal year.
The so-called “lapsed” funding for fiscal 2016 is $9.7 billion, according to the Public Accounts of Canada. All of
those unspent funds were used to pay down the federal debt.
This year’s three-volume public accounts also close the books on fiscal 2016, a year in which the Harper
Conservatives controlled the purse strings for the first seven months and the Trudeau Liberals for the final five
months.
While it is normal every year to see billions of dollars lapse, NDP MP Charlie Angus is flagging the $900
million left unspent by the Department of Indigenous Affairs at a time when there remains an urgent need
for schools, for new drinking water systems and when Health Canada is, among other things, in court
fighting to avoid paying an $8,000 dental surgery bill for an aboriginal girl in Alberta.

8. CLEAN DRINKING WATER
Source - https://news.vice.com/story/inside-ottawas-failure-to-fix-the-first-nations-drinking-water-crisis
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has
made a specific commitment to
bring infrastructure to those
communities who need it the most
— vowing to end boil water
advisories by 2021 — and his
government has moved to try and
provide more long-term funding for
First Nations.
Of the nearly $650 million in costs identified by the federal
government that would be needed to fund water filtration
systems, water delivery trucks, piping, repairs to water
systems, and other critical water and wastewater
infrastructure, the federal government funded less than $175
million over that two-year period.
For those communities currently on boil water advisories, the
number is even lower.
While the government identified $114 million in costs
identified for water projects for those communities who are,
as of July 31 of this year, on boil water advisories, it provided
just $24 million in funding. That’s just 21 percent.

The Supreme Court of Canada says the rights of Indigenous people must be respected
when governments and regulators consider resource projects – but that doesn't mean they
have a "veto." The country's highest court released a pair of rulings yesterday that examined
Indigenous rights when it comes to resource projects. In one, the court threw out an oil
consortium's permit for seismic testing because the National Energy Board didn't properly
consider the impact on the treat rights of residents in Clyde River, Nunavut. In another, the
court denied a challenge filed by the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation that sought to
overturn the approval of Enbridge's reversal of its Line 9 pipeline through Ontario and
Quebec.

10. FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT

liberals-cut-enforcement-measure-at-end-of-2015
While most First Nations continue to comply with Stephen Harper’s controversial financial transparency law, a
National Post analysis has found the compliance rate sharply dropped after Justin Trudeau’s government
dropped a key enforcement mechanism.
As a result of the Trudeau government’s rule change, some bureaucrats are worried they won’t be able to
properly account for and administer the billions of dollars transferred each year to the country’s First Nations.
Moreover, the Post has learned that the drop in the compliance rate to 85 per cent this year from 92 per
cent in Harper’s last year may be the fault of the federal government itself which, in some instances at
least, may have failed to live up to its obligations under the First Nations Financial Transparency
Act(FNFTA).
At the end of 2015, the Liberal government suspended a provision that allowed Ottawa to withhold
federal funds for any band that failed to publish audited financial statements and a statement listing
how much its chief and band councillors were paid.

12. MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE FOR INDIGENOUS
• Source - http://www.torontosun.com/2016/03/12/money-isnt-the-problem-for-first-nations
The federal government spends far more money for every aboriginal Canadian than it does on non-
aboriginal Canadians.
Given the problems faced by First Nations and First Peoples both on- and off-reserve, that fact is probably
justifiable. But the point is, it’s a fact.
Yet aboriginal activists still frequently claim their communities are troubled precisely because they receive
substantially less funding per person than non-aboriginal communities.
That’s simply not true. Still, if that misconception is the starting point for debate the problems experienced by
First Nations will never get solved.
According to a study released this week by Vancouver’s Fraser Institute, the federal department of
Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) alone spends $8,578 per year on every First Nations
adult and child in the country. Over the past 60 years, INAC has given $215 billion to First Nations.
Health Canada has given another $41 billion.
13. MODERNIZING THE INDIAN ACT
Source - http://www.saultstar.com/2016/01/17/getting-rid-of-indian-act-no-easy-chore
Eliminating the Indian Act will not be easy. As former prime minister Harper stated,
highlighting the difficulties in getting rid of the ingrained law, “After 136 years, that tree has
deep roots ... blowing up the stump would just leave a big hole.“
While it may be difficult to tear out the stump and the roots of the Indian Act, an effort must be
made. The real question is what will replace the Act? Many of those calling for the repeal of
this colonial vestige (I would argue all the laws in Canada are colonial vestiges in one form or
another.) offer no opinion as to what should come next beyond broad calls for some form of
nationhood and self-determination. Without a concrete plan to replace the Indian Act, First
Nations will remain at the whim of politicians and the larger settler society to hopefully consult
and do what is best.
14. SUMMARY
• Funding needs to have both transparency and accountability by each band
• Water systems need to look at alternative including mini water systems
• New economic sharing agreements that would allow rich bands to share
wealth with poor bands
• Elders and Band Councils need to work more with youth including
mentoring systems
• First Nations need to be consulted on Natural Resources
