The document discusses poverty in Canada and policies by different political parties. It provides background on key poverty metrics like low income cut-offs. The Liberal Party platform aims to reduce poverty by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2030 through programs like the Canada Child Benefit. However, others argue the child benefit has reduced child poverty less than the Liberals claimed. Conservatives focus on tax cuts and the economy, while critics say their policies have increased costs of living. Overall, reducing poverty requires both economic growth through jobs and targeted social programs.
I am not sure the Stats Canada analysis are apples to apples when it comes to poverty numbers. Harper was down to 8% level when you look at LICO area. The LICO areas have gone up under @JustinTrudeau So, what are the real numbers?
Liberals are on more voting buying as they try to convince people they will reduce poverty by 50% by 2030.
The problem is there many factors that drive poverty which cannot be fixed with one off policies!
The COVID19 crisis has led to many issues including a rise with both income inequality and poverty. Countries around the world need to work fixed their enconomic and fiscal policies.
This presentation discusses all aspect low income and poverty levels including government policies, job creation, hydro rates, cost of living, income growth, income inequality, wealth distribution and income tax.

This presentation looks at different areas of taxation. More work needs to be done in areas like reforming the tax act, tax treaties, shutting down tax havens, going after the underground economy, and other tax reforms
Liberals will continue to use identity politics to focus on emotion and not issues including their various policies
Canada needs to get back to taken care of their own
Canada needs to focus on being a desirable location for business including signing the right trade and investment deals, reducing regulations, balance approach to the environment and the economy
You cannot tax people to prosperity
Canada has been going through a period of slow growth since 2018. The inaction of the Liberals through bad tax policies along regulatory burden have expedited the slow growth. The Liberals approach was not about reforming govt, but growing the size and cost of govt.

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.
Poverty rates may be down, but there are issues with the rise in the cost of living
Many cities have vacant property that needs to be repurpose for other uses
Education needs to better align with the jobs of today and tomorrow
Housing starts are not keeping pace with population growth
Business automation will continue to impact employment markets
All levels of government need to address issues with productivity
All levels of government need to reduce operational cost through streamlining of their various delivery models
All levels of government need to work together on social transfer including better ways to support those that need the help the most
Many Canadian government has tried to reduce poverty. The poverty levels have been consistent for years at 13%.
The Liberals have said they have reduced poverty, but the stats do no show that is the case.

Income inequality has been around your decades. Very few governments have had success with squashing income inequality. One could argue Scandinavia countries have done a good job eradication of income inequality but when you take a deep look then you will see high cost of living and lack of desire to work.
There are more to fixing income inequality than making changes to social programs. There needs to be emphasis on all angles of policies from training/skills development to Economic Development to Tax fairness to cutting regulatory burden/businesses.
Eradicating Poverty around the World - Issues and Solutionspaul young cpa, cga
Â
Agenda 2030 is about eradicating poverty. The problem is that many of the policies like carbon tax will do nothing but make the cost of living higher
It will take many policies to eradicate poverty including housing, economic growth, taxation, healthcare and education.
GDP is key measurement for a country. Allot is said about GDP, especially by various government. The reality is government gets to much credit for booming economy and too much fault for recession.
There are many factors drive GDP including taxation, business returns, consumer spending and government spending. 2/3 of economies tend to be driven by consumer spending. If you set policies that takes more money out peopleâs pocket book then that will lead to less consumer spending.
Summary:
I support review of all programs to ensure they are effective in terms of improving outcomes. More oversight needs to be done on all social welfare programs to ensure they are helping people but also supporting the growing of the economy in a sustainable way.

Left always believe that middle to upper class people need to support low income people. The problem with this argument is that you cannot tax people to wealth.
Many leaders are pushing guarantee income as part of social policy reforms. The problem is guarantee income is very costly for government with limited benefit in areas of productivity and job quality.
Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Â
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 â an indicator of potential future activity â 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 â United States â August 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga

Blog â Manufacturing Shipments and Orders â The United States â 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 â 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 â Analysis and Commentary â Stock Market â 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.

Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Â
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the worldâs 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 coalâfor electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement productionâis the worldâs 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 âwell-established renewable power technology.â
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
Â
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.
Chinaâs 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 economistsâ estimates and significantly less severe than Julyâs 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.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
Â
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 assetâs value is determined by companyâs performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
ď 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 companyâs board of director or the business decisions to be made.
ď 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 companyâs 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.

USDA Loans in California: A Comprehensive Overview.pptxmarketing367770
Â
USDA Loans in California: A Comprehensive Overview
If you're dreaming of owning a home in California's rural or suburban areas, a USDA loan might be the perfect solution. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers these loans to help low-to-moderate-income individuals and families achieve homeownership.
Key Features of USDA Loans:
Zero Down Payment: USDA loans require no down payment, making homeownership more accessible.
Competitive Interest Rates: These loans often come with lower interest rates compared to conventional loans.
Flexible Credit Requirements: USDA loans have more lenient credit score requirements, helping those with less-than-perfect credit.
Guaranteed Loan Program: The USDA guarantees a portion of the loan, reducing risk for lenders and expanding borrowing options.
Eligibility Criteria:
Location: The property must be located in a USDA-designated rural or suburban area. Many areas in California qualify.
Income Limits: Applicants must meet income guidelines, which vary by region and household size.
Primary Residence: The home must be used as the borrower's primary residence.
Application Process:
Find a USDA-Approved Lender: Not all lenders offer USDA loans, so it's essential to choose one approved by the USDA.
Pre-Qualification: Determine your eligibility and the amount you can borrow.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
Â
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a âRoaring Twentiesâ? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. governmentâs aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
âIn order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,â says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

of poverty but have failed
⢠Poverty levels vary year to year due to many factors,

⢠Liberals ran on a campaign they would lift 315,000
out of poverty -

⢠âThere is likely to be a reduction of children
living in poverty at the end of this year,
potentially by 300,000, but Macdonald said
maybe about one-quarter that number, or
75,000, can be chalked up to the child benefit.
That smaller decline isnât something to be
dismissed, but it isnât the sweeping change of
300,000 fewer children living in poverty â or a
40 per cent cut â that Trudeau touted.â

⢠Summary
5. ⢠Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and
shelter. However, poverty is more, much more than just not having enough money.
⢠The World Bank Organization describes poverty in this way:
⢠âPoverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a
doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having
a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time.
⢠Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has been described in
many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. So poverty is a call to
action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may
have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence,
and a voice in what happens in their communities.â

⢠People on poverty in Canada has been a big issue for the past 40+ years. The world economy has slowly shifted manufacturing to
low cost producing countries which has led to more jobs being created in the service sector.
⢠Many government have tried over the years to cut poverty rates, but have had limited results. The best solution to poverty is a job.

to vote the government out for the Liberals. The liberals were elected as such are now working on year three of their mandate. The
Liberals mandate included a reduction in poverty - https://www.liberal.ca/realchange/fighting-poverty/. The problem is despite

But like Trudeauâs other promises, theyâve turned out to be nothing but lies.
In fact, the Trudeau economy has led to the weakest wage growth in 20 years.
As reported by Bloomberg, average hourly wage increases were up 1.1% year-over-year, which was the lowest increase since 1998. It is also far
below the historical average of 2.7% in the last 10 years.
When looking further into the numbers, things are even worse for permanent workers. They had the lowest wage growth since 1997.
And when it comes to the province-by-province picture, the increase in Ontario was only 0.1% year-over-year, which is the lowest increase ever
recorded.

30. Broadbent
⢠Broadbent â speech to the Finance Committee in 2013:
⢠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsUlt0bP2yU
â˘
⢠Fact 1 â Harper has increased program spending either via the transfers or direct program spending. It is
not Harperâs fault if various provincial governments waste money -
http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/provincial-transfers-and-program-spending. You do not have to
take my word as you can watch this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqLDHQ-iJU8.
⢠Fact 2 â Harper has done very good on job creation area despite lower world-wide growth. You do not have
to take my word as you can review the Stats Canada results in areas like wage (reported), jobs by industry
(reported), Exports (reported), etc. http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/economy-lpc-impact or
http://mb.cme-mec.ca/?action=show&lid=XE8MT-GCZX2-KAD9G&comaction=show&cid=3CWP8-FKASM-
JYNFE
⢠Fact 3 â Where is the discussion on private âvs- public sector? http://www.cfib-
fcei.ca/english/article/7107-wage-watch-2015.html
⢠Fact 4 â Broadbent supports more moneys for daycare, right? We all know how well the PQ model has work,
right? http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=5a5e1555-093f-4959-9395-028c36daadc7&p=2
31. Broadbent
⢠Fact 5 â Broadbent gives credit to the working class benefit. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/wtb/menu-eng.html.
So, how come this benefit is not mentioned by either NDP or LPC?
⢠Fact 6 â Broadbent talks about GIS increases which are now proposed by Mulcair. The issue that Broadbent does not
discuss is other programs like pension splitting. The article also is dated so it does not deal with RRIF or how many
seniors are using TFSA - http://www.carp.ca/2015/04/21/carp-members-welcome-government-action-in-budget-
2015/ FYI â Harper is planning to increase GIS - http://servingbrant.ca/node/48
⢠Fact 7 â Broadbent wants a new welfare program. It seems to me that Broadbent does not get the purpose of
welfare. Welfare is not design to make people rich, but to help those that most need the support. Ontario has wasted
moneys on gas plants, eHealth, etc. and that money could have went to helping the most vulnerable in Ontario.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ehealth-scandal-a-1b-waste-auditor-1.808640
⢠Fact 8 â Broadbent is all over the stock options issues. Broadbent again does not get it about how small startup use
stock options to as part of luring talent to their organization - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09-
24/ndp-plan-to-boost-tax-on-stock-options-seen-stunting-canada-tech
⢠Fact 9 â Tax avoidance was discussed and again since this is dated it does not deal with Harper and his government
going after tax avoidance areas as part of taxation enforce, i.e. tax treaties, transfer pricing, OECD work, etc.
⢠Fact 10 â increasing the taxes to top 1% never brings in the revenue windfall due to how rich have accountants,
lawyers, etc. that know how to work within the framework of the various countriesâ ITA
⢠Summary:
⢠I am not surprised by Broadbent as it is all about taxing the rich. It should be noted the information in Broadbentâs
statement are part of the NDP platform. This should tell you that the Broadbent Institute was directly involved with
NDP platform.
