How best to Build a Reslient Supply Chain - October 2022.pptx
Blog – How to build a Resilient Supply Chain – Canada – October 2022
In 2015 is when Justin Trudeau that Canada should be know for its resourcefulness - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-davos-future-look-economy-harper-1.3412182.
Canada natural resources would have been a global leader in areas like Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, oil, LNG, etc., if Trudeau had focus on the goods-producing sector with balance policies that would protect the environment as well develop natural resources in a sustainable way. Canada could have learned a lesson or two from Australia - https://financialpost.com/diane-francis/diane-francis-canada-need-only-look-to-australia-to-see-how-badly-liberals-have-messed-up
Canada should be a world leader in the development on LNG but the Liberals chose excessive regulations and taxes that have caused issues with FDI for LNG - https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/oil-gas/lng-canada-second-chance-global-lng-leader-takes-shape. Harper provided policies that would have developed Canada into a LNG giant, but Trudeau decided that was not going to be his focus area - https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/canada-to-reduce-taxes-for-lng-projects-stephen-harper-says
Railroads have complained about capacity issues to federal government - https://financialpost.com/transportation/rail/a-burning-alberta-bridge-stalls-grain-shipments-showing-the-fragility-of-canadas-supply-chains
Liberals did little to expand ports. Thunder Bay could have been a major transportation hub like other ports including Sydney, NS or Sault Ste. Marie or Churchill, MB - https://financialpost.com/transportation/rail/a-burning-alberta-bridge-stalls-grain-shipments-showing-the-fragility-of-canadas-supply-chains
I have been saying for many years that the federal government was not doing enough to build a resilient supply chain including reshoring of manufacturing jobs, development of natural resources in a sustainable way, support farmers in terms expert/vertical farming while helping to keep a lid on input costs
Trudeau ran on 2015 on making things better for Canadians. It is now seven years later, and Trudeau policies have been nothing but a failure! - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/justin-trudeau-era-of-canada-october-2015-to-august-2022pptx
Retail Sales and Consumer Spending Analysis and Commentary - July 2023.pptx
Canadian retail sales dropped 0.3% in August, the first decline since March, as higher interest rates start to impact household budgets. Seven of the nine retail subsectors saw sales increases in July, led by food and beverage retailers, while motor vehicle and parts dealers saw the largest decrease. Excluding autos, retail sales in July rose 1%, double expectations. The report suggests Canadians are tightening spending as more face higher mortgage payments and gas prices due to Bank of Canada rate hikes aimed at slowing inflation.
Addressing issues with the Public Sector Governance Model.pptx
The key challenges facing Australian business leaders in 2023 include:
1. Talent acquisition, retention and training staff for digital transformation.
2. Implementing successful digital transformation while managing cyber risks.
3. Adapting to changing regulations and reporting requirements.
Health risks from COVID-19, social reputation concerns, and disruptive emerging technologies are also significant social challenges impacting Australian businesses. Over the next 3-5 years, talent management for digitization, cybersecurity, digital transformation, regulatory changes, and identifying new growth opportunities will be the top challenges according to business leaders.

How best to Build a Reslient Supply Chain - October 2022.pptx

In 2015 is when Justin Trudeau that Canada should be know for its resourcefulness - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-davos-future-look-economy-harper-1.3412182.
Canada natural resources would have been a global leader in areas like Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, oil, LNG, etc., if Trudeau had focus on the goods-producing sector with balance policies that would protect the environment as well develop natural resources in a sustainable way. Canada could have learned a lesson or two from Australia - https://financialpost.com/diane-francis/diane-francis-canada-need-only-look-to-australia-to-see-how-badly-liberals-have-messed-up
Canada should be a world leader in the development on LNG but the Liberals chose excessive regulations and taxes that have caused issues with FDI for LNG - https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/oil-gas/lng-canada-second-chance-global-lng-leader-takes-shape. Harper provided policies that would have developed Canada into a LNG giant, but Trudeau decided that was not going to be his focus area - https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/canada-to-reduce-taxes-for-lng-projects-stephen-harper-says
Railroads have complained about capacity issues to federal government - https://financialpost.com/transportation/rail/a-burning-alberta-bridge-stalls-grain-shipments-showing-the-fragility-of-canadas-supply-chains
Liberals did little to expand ports. Thunder Bay could have been a major transportation hub like other ports including Sydney, NS or Sault Ste. Marie or Churchill, MB - https://financialpost.com/transportation/rail/a-burning-alberta-bridge-stalls-grain-shipments-showing-the-fragility-of-canadas-supply-chains
I have been saying for many years that the federal government was not doing enough to build a resilient supply chain including reshoring of manufacturing jobs, development of natural resources in a sustainable way, support farmers in terms expert/vertical farming while helping to keep a lid on input costs
Trudeau ran on 2015 on making things better for Canadians. It is now seven years later, and Trudeau policies have been nothing but a failure! - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/justin-trudeau-era-of-canada-october-2015-to-august-2022pptx

Retail Sales and Consumer Spending Analysis and Commentary - July 2023.pptx
Canadian retail sales dropped 0.3% in August, the first decline since March, as higher interest rates start to impact household budgets. Seven of the nine retail subsectors saw sales increases in July, led by food and beverage retailers, while motor vehicle and parts dealers saw the largest decrease. Excluding autos, retail sales in July rose 1%, double expectations. The report suggests Canadians are tightening spending as more face higher mortgage payments and gas prices due to Bank of Canada rate hikes aimed at slowing inflation.
Addressing issues with the Public Sector Governance Model.pptx
The key challenges facing Australian business leaders in 2023 include:
1. Talent acquisition, retention and training staff for digital transformation.
2. Implementing successful digital transformation while managing cyber risks.
3. Adapting to changing regulations and reporting requirements.
Health risks from COVID-19, social reputation concerns, and disruptive emerging technologies are also significant social challenges impacting Australian businesses. Over the next 3-5 years, talent management for digitization, cybersecurity, digital transformation, regulatory changes, and identifying new growth opportunities will be the top challenges according to business leaders.
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.

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%.

World Merchandise Trade – September 2023.pptx
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.
