• Trudeau forced the carbon tax saying it was good for everyone, but never discusses total cost
(the average family pays at least 1,300 in carbon taxes -

11. Training and
Development
 If you like to learn more
about trade and/or other
subjects as part of your
professional learning and
development then feel free
to review my material on

(search Paul Young CPA

 These subjects address how
to fixed issues with housing
and/or systemic issues
related to economy
including government
policies

12. Arctic Ice
 Earth goes through a lifecycle based on the sun activity - http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
 Antarctica ice has increased - https://www.pnas.org/content/116/29/14414
 Arctic ice is growing faster during the winter months -

13. What’s next for the Arctic Region
 Next federal government needs to revamp its policy on the north
 Food and Nutrition programs are not reducing the cost of food. It is time to look at other options, like
greenhouses and/or other means to managed the food supply
 Greenhouses - https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/anything-is-possible-nunavut-greenhouses-bring-food-jobs-to-
tundra-1.4787362
 North wants to reduce the time it takes to get project off the ground. The resources need to be developed
in north via sustainable practices. Part of the development should be leaving the infrastructure around for
communities, i.e. water management, cell towers, power generation, roads, etc.
 Transportation systems including roads need to be review, i.e. Rankin Highway or investment into Churchill
or other northern ports
 Carbon tax should be scrap due to fact many communities rely on diesel power
