I support the protection of the environment through sustainable practices that do not destroy global economy. Too many government policies are about carbon pricing. Carbon is not the enemy of the planet. More policy work needs to be done in areas of the circular economy, urban planning, forest management, water management, and land management.

Canada needs to development Natural Resources and Agricultural Strategypaul young cpa, cga
Natural resources and Agriculture play a key role in terms of economic wealth and supply chain management. It is important for all levels of government to work together as part of developing effective strategy that will maximize the development of both natural resources and the agriculture sector.
This presentation focuses on the environment including what needs to happen in order to protect the environment as well as balance environmental policies with economic policies.
9th Inter-Parliamentary Meeting on Renewable Energy and Energy EfficiencyAlliance To Save Energy
Kateri Callahan
President, Alliance to Save Energy
Members of European Parliament, Parliamentarians of Member States, and representatives from the European Commission and NGO community gathered to discuss challenges, progress, and next steps in Europe’s energy efficiency and renewable energy portfolios.
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.

Businesses are facing litany of tax increase like CPP and EI (Payroll) along with carbon tax escalation - http://www.baystreet.ca/articles/economiccommentary/81636/101822. Trudeau government talks out of the corner of their mouth about reducing the small business federal corporate tax rate to 9%. https://www.cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/cfib-statement-on-the-start-of-small-business-week. The federal government does not seem to grasp that hiking taxes can lead to reduce profit margins.
Canada is rich in natural resources and arable land. Canada could be a world leader in energy, forestry, mining, and agriculture exports if Canada had the right support from the federal government - https://www.cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/cfib-statement-on-the-start-of-small-business-week

NDP under the leadership Jagmeet Singh keeps focusing on greed inflation while giving a past to fuel standard and carbon tax hikes. NDP has always been since Singh was elected are great at driving emotional wedge issues with their base. The problem many times the NDP is out to lunch when it comes to what is really driving issues with inflation including lack of improvement with productivity, lack of innovation, skills gap, supply chain challenges, and high cost of housing. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/corporate-proftis-vs-corporate-greedpptx
Has Justin Trudeau been Open,, Transparent and Accountable to Canadians WE Ma...paul young cpa, cga
Good leadership knows how to shift gears. Justin Trudeau took over an economy that was growing at 2.3% per year post-2009 recession. Trudeau decided to help the economy through his stimulus. The problem is that Trudeau policies never addressed issues with productivity, innovation, skills gap, tax fairness, and delivery program spending with value for money.
Canada GDP per capita has trail countries like Qatar. Canada economy would be doing much better with high commodity prices but LPC policies like C69 have either led to cancelation of projects or a slow approval process of new mines
Trudeau also continues to throw money at various programs despite audits and PBO reports saying the programs either are ineffective. Trudeau only seems to care when a report supports his narrative. Trudeau refuses to do a complete spending review as he believes in big and expensive government.
The so-called carbon tax has made lives less affordable to many Canadians
Summary:
Natural gas prices continue to rise
30 municipalities in Ontario are pushing for a ban of natural gas
Ontario is set to retire Pickering Nuclear station and needs to find new power sources
EMEA is desperate for new natural gas sources
Hydro generation is by far main source of power generation
Clean Technology continues to be heavily subsidized by government
Wind and Solar require backup power generation like Natural Gas or Diesel Generators
Replacing nuclear power with other sources
Imports from PQ would require investment in transmission lines, storage, generators, etc.
Natural Gas plants could be built, but they would increase the CO2 footprint
Green and NDP want to phase out nuclear power, but do not have viable solution.

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.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE September 15 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
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.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
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.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.

That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.

Canadian clean technology companies are struggling to stay afloat and falling behind global peers
even as Ottawa promises to boost the sector and move the country toward a low carbon future, a
report released on Thursday showed.
Analytica Advisors said in its seventh annual report that despite years of publicly funded support for
research and development, losses for clean tech companies widened to $3.56 billion in 2015 from $3.18
billion in 2014, and shareholder returns limped in below the Canadian average. Figures for 2016 are
not yet available.
Those metrics have made it difficult to convince pension funds and other investors to put money into
the sector even as Ottawa has made a string of promises designed to boost the green economy.

You know Canadian competitiveness is in big trouble when even investors in renewable energy –
favored by Canadian governments through subsidies, plus carbon taxes and regulatory overload on
competing fossil-fuel energy — are leaving because they like lower U.S. taxes even more.
Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra Energy Partners LP said Monday the sale of its wind and solar
generation assets in Ontario to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for US$582.3 million was
specifically motivated by U.S. tax reform.
“We expect the sale of the Canadian portfolio to enable us to recycle capital back into U.S. assets,
which benefit from a longer federal income tax shield and a lower effective corporate tax rate,
allowing NextEra Energy Partners to retain more … in the future for every $1 invested,” Jim Robo,
chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Competitiveness

GENEVA—For years, there have been lots of electric cars proudly rolled out at auto shows but few
on the streets or at dealers. That could be about to change.
The electric cars under the lights at the Geneva International Motor Show promise to be the
leading edge of more affordable, longer-range vehicles that start to move battery cars out of their
niche—as a product for environmentalists willing to put up with limited range and wealthy
enthusiasts of new technology willing to pay for buzz and the robust but silent acceleration the
cars offer.
Several broad underlying trends are converging to increase the likelihood that larger numbers of
battery cars will be on the roads in the next several years.
Prices are falling for batteries, consumers are turning away from diesel engines after Volkswagen’s
emissions scandal, and governments in Europe and China are enforcing tougher emissions rules.
As more electric cars roll off assembly lines, the trick will be getting more people to buy them. A
key factor will be price—of the battery to the manufacturer, and consequently of the car to the
customer.
Volvo Car Group’s Polestar 2 and Peugeot’s new electric 208 compact are electric offerings
aimed at bringing battery-powered cars within reach of more people. The Polestar 2 launch
version, expected in 2020, starts at US$55,500 after the $7,500 U.S. tax incentive; the Europe price
starts at 59,000 euros. A less expensive model is envisioned after the first year. Polestar says the
model is aimed at the same potential customers as the Model 3 electric compact from California
carmaker Tesla.
Tesla said last week it will close its stores and move to online sales only so it can cut costs and
reach its goal of selling the Model 3 for $35,000. Before the announcement the lowest price was
$42,900.
Electrical subsidies cost

VANCOUVER—Vancouver’s Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. announced
Oct. 2 it has signed a manufacturing agreement with Zongshen Industrial
Group Co., Ltd.—a motorcycle manufacturer based in Chongqing, China—to
produce 75,000 of its SOLO electric vehicles over the next three years.
This uniquely shaped single-seater car is powered by a 16.1 kilowatt hour
lithium-ion battery, has a range of 160 km and a top speed of 130 km/h.
The manufacturing agreement with Zongshen calls for the production of
5,000 SOLOs in 2018; 20,000 in 2019; and 50,000 in 2020.
The company started taking orders for the SOLO in 2016, and Electra
Meccanica says it has so far amassed orders for over 20,000 units.
“We are thrilled that Zongshen has joined us in leading the clean energy
charge and partnered with us in the production of our innovative, new SOLO,”
said Jerry Kroll, CEO, Electra Meccanica. “We have thousands of orders on
the books and we now have the manufacturing capacity to begin filling these
orders for our customers.”
The SOLO’s anticipated manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) comes
in at a modest $19,888, and the company is currently taking refundable $250
reservations on its website. New deliveries are currently scheduled to be
fulfilled in Q4 2018.

All told, the study concluded, nearly 300,000 Canadians were
directly employed in clean energy in 2017, nearly 100,000
more than Statistics Canada data said worked in mining,
quarrying, and oil-and-gas extraction. There are 7.5 times as
many people working in clean energy as in forestry and
logging.
1. Employment is not broken down by clean sector
2. Clean Tech jobs tend to be installers -
https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/philip-cross-statcan-
just-exposed-how-worthless-green-industries-are-to-canadas-
economy “Environmental and clean-technology industries
accounted for a puny 3.1 per cent of Canada’s GDP in 2017. More
importantly, StatsCan noted that this ratio has remained
relatively stable since 2007 when the data began. The green
economy’s share of GDP stagnated for 10 of the biggest years for
pro-green policies and hefty government support, and against
historically slow growth in the rest of the economy. If the green
economy cannot flourish in these circumstances, it is doubtful it
ever will.”
3. The two largest components of environmental and clean
technology GDP are clean electricity (41.2%) and waste
management services (12.0%). The remaining services, when
grouped together, accounted for 38.4%, while manufactured
products were responsible for 7.5%, and other energy and
primary products contributed 0.9% of total environmental and
clean technology GDP. These ratios are similar to those in 2016.

• The New Democrats are also looking to change the tax system to ensure that “the wealthiest pay their fair share.” This means closing tax
loopholes, tackling tax evasion, and tweaking the system to ensure more money is made from the capital gains tax.
– How is that going to work? Are they going to close down havens? Add more people to help investigate tax havens?

• The plan also aims to ban all single-use plastics across Canada by 2022, as well as creating an Environmental Bill of Rights to “ensure that all
communities can enjoy a guarantee to clean water, land and air.”
– This is not feasible
– How about address the recycling issues
• https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/09/world/miranda-wang-tomorrows-hero/index.html
• Meanwhile, the party aims to ensure the Canadian electrical grid and all new buildings will be emission-free by 2030. It would pursue energy-
efficient retrofits in all buildings across Canada by 2050, creating a $3-billion “Canadian Climate Bank” to lift low-carbon developments.
– Climate Bank?
• Clean Technology needs to be viable with government subsidies
– https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-clean-technology-canada-may-2019
• To further incentivize Canadians to purchase greener vehicles, the New Democrats would give rebates of at least $5,000 and waive all federal
sales tax when people purchase zero-emission vehicles. This follows in the footsteps of the Liberals plan, which they already implemented this
year. The NDP also aims to build charging stations in federal buildings and Canada Post locations, while offering residents up to $600 to install a
plug-in charger in their own home.
– These rebates do not work. They will not encourage people to move to emission free car. There is also no such thing as emission free car -

43. Quebec / Green Fund
Source - https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/quebec-green-fund-money-used-for-pet-
projects-new-minister-charges-1.4526775
Quebec's green fund was created in 2006 as a way of collecting
billions in revenues -- in large part from the province's version
of a carbon tax -- and redistributing the money towards
initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
But the so-called green fund has been widely criticized as a
boondoggle.
Quebec's new environment minister, Benoit Charette, is
promising reform, but he has a colossal task ahead of him. The
province's past mistakes highlight the difficulties of managing a
multibillion-dollar fund to which various government
departments have access.
Instead of promoting projects with strict greenhouse gas
emission targets, the fund became a buffet for the pet projects of
various ministers, Charette said.
"Unfortunately, yes," Charette said in an interview when asked
whether the fund was being misused. "Certain departments
helped themselves to the fund, so to speak, without a guarantee
of results on investments. And the previous government let this
phenomenon go on like that, which made things even more
deplorable."

58. Top Clean Tech Startups for 2020
1. Fuergy Slovak startup Fuergy plans to turn household renewable energy-sharing into a reality. One of the latest is a
Slovakian startup that is now fashioning itself as the Airbnb of clean energy, with a mission to turn household renewable
energy sharing into a reality. Using the Fuergy platform, home users who generate surplus solar or wind power can sell it
directly to other members in their community instead of the usual model of feeding it to the grid.
2. #2 Facedrive - Canadian Facedrive is like Uber, only better--because it’s green. Facedrive is the next-generation ride-
sharing company that gives the segment’s key customer base exactly what they want: A green alternative in the fossil-fuel
driven ride-sharing sector. Facedrive (TSX:FD.V) is the first ride-sharing company that contributes to planting a tree
while you ride, and lets you choose exactly what kind of ecological footprint you want to leave behind. The next-gen ride-
share company offers customers a choice for every ride, whether they want an EV, a hybrid, or a conventional car. And
even if they choose conventional, they’re still making a green choice because the CO2 is being offset for them.
3. Power Ledger - Power Ledger is based out of Australia and functions as a peer-to-peer energy-trading platform and the
first ever carbon credit project of its kind. Imagine, as a household, being able to monetize your renewable energy
investment while simultaneously providing your community with cheaper energy via the blockchain--all thanks to an
innovative peer-to-peer platform. The bigger this gets, the more likely it will be to disrupt the energy sector by helping to
make renewable energy more affordable and attractive.
