1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 This is why RBC has so much money for ads and golf squads RBC also reported a record $12.4-billion profit on Wednesday for the year ended Oct. 31, an eight-per-cent increase over the prior year. Even with the record earnings, the Toronto-based bank noted that it still may have extra capital it could use to try to generate more growth.

1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 TORONTO -- Manulife Financial Corp. posted record earnings last year as it swung to a $593-million profit in the fourth quarter. The Toronto-based insurer says it earned $4.8 billion in net income attributable to shareholders in 2018, up from $2.7 billion in 2017 when it took a $2.8-billion charge related to U.S. tax reform and faced hurricane-relate charges.

1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. says it earned the highest adjusted per-share profits and revenues of its 137-year history last quarter, helping the country's second largest railroad to overcome the impact earlier this year from service interruptions tied to labour action. The Calgary-based railway earned $622 million or $4.35 per diluted share for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with $510 million or 3.50 per share for the same period a year earlier. Its operating income hit $790 million, a 27 per cent year-over-year increase. Adjusted earnings rose to $589 million or a record $4.12 per diluted share, two cents better than it forecast earlier this month.

1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Economy bad I hope it picks up “We pass them on to locally owned and operated co-ops across Western Canada, which in turn pass much of their profit on to their own members and reinvest the rest in their local operations and communities,” said FCL CEO Scott Banda in a statement. FCL said $789 million is being returned to 170 co-operatives – $630 million in cash and the remainder in additional share capital. Banda said 2018 was an exceptional year, but is not expected to be repeated in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Wage growth is on the horizon as Canada’s economy rebounds from weak oil prices and a decelerating housing market in the second quarter of 2019, predicts a senior Bank of Canada official. In a speech on Thursday, deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins referred to a “puzzling” absence of wage gains in light of tightness in a labour market where worker shortages are at the highest level since the Great Recession. Job vacancies are on the rise, she said, currently topping 550,000. Last year, the economy added a net 163,000 full-time positions. Unemployment fell to 5.6 per cent, a historic low. And the participation rate for prime-age workers (aged 25 to 54) was around 87 per cent, near its all-time high. “If that sounds positive, it’s because it is,” Wilkins told a lunch audience at the Toronto Board of Trade. “Wage growth has picked up considerably to average about 2.5 per cent in 2018, compared with two per cent over the past five years. But we are still shy of what one would expect in a tight labour market.” OTTAWA — Wage growth hit its highest level in nearly six years last month as the economy posted a net loss of 1,100 jobs and an unemployment rate that held steady at 5.8 per cent. Statistics Canada's latest jobs report shows wages in April were up 3.6 per cent compared with a year ago, the largest increase since October 2012. The indicator, which is closely monitored by the Bank of Canada ahead of its interest-rate decisions, posted an annual increase of 3.3 per cent in March.

1trailmaker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I guess this Prediction is wrong Consumer spending on track for worst year in decade, says National Bank A slowing Canadian economy will result in consumer spending falling to its lowest level in a decade this year, according to a new report from the National Bank of Canada. Economists at the bank expect real consumption growth — which is calculated once the impact of inflation is stripped out — to hit 1.3 per cent in 2019, which would be the lowest since 2009 when it fell to 0.2 per cent amid the global financial crisis. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/consumer-spending-consumption-canada-1.5006343 but its hit record spending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 You should pick current, up to date news bits, Trail. Again, how is this benefiting you and what exactly does this have to do with the middle class being better off under Trudeau? Canada's economy grew at 0.4% pace to start 2019, barely ahead of late 2018 pace May 31, 2019 Canada's economy expanded at an annualized pace of just 0.4 per cent in the first three months of the year, giving the country its weakest back-to-back quarters of growth since 2015. It was the slowest two-quarter stretch of growth since an oil-price plunge caused the economy to shrink over the first half of 2015. Canada also saw a substantial contraction of 9.5 per cent in its exports of farm and fishing products as well as a 2.8 per cent drop in crude-oil shipments. And CBC again.
