Has Justin Trudeau been Open, Transparent, and Accountable to Canada?paul young cpa, cga
This presentation looks at different areas of government as a way for Canadians to assess if Justin Trudeau has been accountable, open, and transparent to Canadians.
Many people are confused how money flows from your wallet to social programs. Each level of government has different taxation programs that hit your wallet different ways
It is important to understand there is only one taxpayers and that is you
You cannot tax people to prosperity
Canada does a very good job of wealth distribution
Too many governments do not look at value for money when it comes to delivering program spending.
All politicians will promise the world, but in fact can deliver very little due fiscal restraints
The federal government ran a deficit of nearly $69 billion over the first half its fiscal year, almost $130 billion less than the treasury pumped out during the same stretch one year earlier.
The Finance Department’s fiscal monitor says the budgetary deficit between April and September was $68.6 billion, down from the $198.1 billion recorded over the same months in 2020 when Covid-19 first struck.

CPPIB is independent board that evaluates all investment to ensure pensions funds achieve a specific return. There is nothing stopping govt from talking to CPPIB which the Liberals have done in the past with various pension funds to encourage investments.
People need to review all aspects of the various parties platform including looking at the annual report for government.
There is allot of information that is missing from statements made by various parties. Elections tend to allow parties to mislead the facts.
Violent crime is up in Canada for the past few years. Police forces across Canada are struggling with how to deal with increase crime.
Too many public officials are not addressing the systemic with crime including lenient sentencing, the bail granting process, not providing police with the tools to do their jobs, etc.

Federal government programs to support innovation and businesspaul young cpa, cga
This presentation will discuss innovation and business support programs in Canada.
The federal government provides different programs as part of supporting economic growth in Canada.
Lots have been written on the middle class. Many governments around the world target the middle class as part of helping the middle class. The problem is that many governments are too busy focusing on policies that do little in terms either helping the environment or supporting the middle class.
This presentation looks at defence spending my the Canadian government to support the Canadian Forces. The highlights will be capital as well as overall government spending.
NATO will also be discussed as NATO wants more commitment from its members when it comes to funding defence.

Global Philanthropy Report. Perspectives on the global foundation sectorDominique Gross
Report: Perspectives on the global foundation sector
seeks to develop a knowledge base to address the size,
scope, and practice of institutional philanthropy across
the globe. This inaugural report represents a first step
in an attempt to understand worldwide philanthropic
practices and trends; provide comparative analysis across
countries and regions; begin to develop a picture of the
magnitude of global philanthropic investment; and help
create an evidence-based discussion on global philanthropy.
We hope to publish the report biennially, adding additional
countries and reporting increasingly comprehensive
data within countries in future editions. Importantly, national
collaborators are publishing more in-depth reports
on philanthropy in their individual countries.
A presentation supported by a research report that focuses on development issues in Africa. The report is themed Innovation and Impact and is presented in three sections, hindsight, foresight and insight
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.

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.

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

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.

Chuck Strahl resigns – key quote “OnWednesday, Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc challenged
NDP LeaderTom Mulcair in the House of Commons to "ask Chuck Strahl" about the
foundation’s independence, after Mulcair accused the Liberals of failing to follow their own
ethics rules by allowing Chinese national Zhang Bin to attend Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau’s private fundraiser dinner in May. Soon after the $1,500-a-person Liberal
fundraiser, Zhang and another man signed an agreement to give a $1-million donation to
the Montreal charity named forTrudeau’s father, along with the University of Montreal’s
Faculty of Law. ” Source - http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/chuck-strahl-quits-board-of-

There are indication thatTrudeau was still involved up until 2014.The other issue thatTrudeau did
not defend is why is AlexandreTrudeau still on the board. Alexander at one time was providing
Foreign advice in areas like Iran and Hamas.
