OTTAWA—Canadian manufacturing sales ended a streak of three consecutive months of declines as they grew more than expected in January. Statistics Canada said Friday manufacturing sales in the first month of the year rose 1.0 per cent to $57.1 billion, boosted by higher sales in the food as well as the electrical equipment, appliance and component industries. Economists on average had expected an increase of 0.4 per cent for January, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon. “Canadian manufacturing started 2019 with a much-needed pleasant surprise,” TD Bank economist Omar Abdelrahman wrote in a report.

Muskoka1 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 16 hours ago, 1trailmaker said: Toronto has never seen momentum like it’s experiencing right now. In September alone, the city drew over $1.4 billion in investment from U.S. and Canadian companies, ranging from global tech giants to local startups. Discussion surrounding Toronto’s position as one of the world’s major tech hubs is nothing new, especially with Sidewalk Labs moving in and Amazon announcing the city as one of the top finalists for an HQ location. To prove this even further, a recent study showed that Toronto has created more tech jobs than the San Francisco Bay area, Seattle and Washington, D.C. combined in the last year. Recent announcements of investment (and the associated job gains) include: Microsoft announced $570 million in investments, along with 500 new full-time jobs; Uber is launching its newest engineering hub in Toronto, expanding its self-driving R&D centre and investing $200 million locally; Canadian-based Shopify announced up to $500 million in investments and a new Toronto office to house thousands of employees; Other major tech players, including Intel, Pinterest, Instacart and WeWork Labs all announced new Toronto offices as well, bringing in hundreds of job opportunities. However, it’s not just the global giants that are capitalizing on this trend. Toronto’s tech boom is boosting local startups in the MaRS ecosystem as well, with a combined total value in venture capital of $146.7 million for the month of September. Here are the Toronto startups that saw successful funding rounds or acquisitions in September: Cluep, an AI-driven adtech company, was acquired for $53 million; A $13 million raise for cleantech startup GHGSat, which uses satellite technology to detect greenhouse gas emissions; skritswap secured $657,000 with the mission to reduce jargon in complex fields; and Flexiti Financial, which helps retailers increase sales by providing instant consumer financing, secured $80 million.

Again with the using VETS to serve your agenda - No sure if you know but Canada has always given money away ALL GOVERNMENTS have only difference is one talks about it and the other doesn't - This is how you come to the conclusion the CONS are great with our money when they have been the worst by a long shot FACT Can we give less SURE I find it hard to believe our vets are not taken care of, nothing has changed for the worse under Trudeau NOTHING I have always thought we do them well IRV you really need to read up on the VET thing instead of looking at meme's Edited May 9, 2019 by 1trailmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with this "booming" economy you are OK with our National debt/deficit not being paid down but growing exponentially everyday? Who do you think is going to pay for that, trail? You really should open your eyes to the bigger picture rather than just continually focusing on how Canada's economy "was" doing the last few years when the world, globally, was also doing good. Canada is in for some major hurting, and like I said, Trudope and the Liberals, like you, are too stupid to realize/understand that. Two fiscal freight trains hurling toward Ottawa https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/two-fiscal-freight-trains-hurling-toward-ottawa Contrary to what the finance minister says, federal finances are vulnerable Polling continues to show that Canadians are concerned—and increasingly so—about federal finances and more specifically deficits. The minister’s glib response to concerns about the worrying state of federal finances is disconcerting and reveals a lack of historical understanding. Despite Morneau’s latest assurances, Canada may be at the frontend of another downward 1970s-1990s deficit cycle, which starts with deficit spending during a period of economic growth (like we’ve seen with the current government). The government then relies on continual economic growth to try to balance the budget. Then, when the inevitable recession arrives, federal finances are thrown back into deficit, sometimes deep deficits. Debt accumulates throughout with mounting interest costs and federal finances predictably spiral out of control. Canadians are right to be concerned about deficits. Minister Morneau’s dismissive assurances notwithstanding, the federal government should take immediate action to place federal finances back on a path towards balance and sustainability. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/contrary-to-what-the-finance-minister-says-federal-finances-are-vulnerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
