Sksman Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 So the most important issue this week for Justin Trudeau is to fly it Iqualuit to offer an apology to Inuit for how the Tuberculois outbreak 50 years ago was handled. Oh yeah what about carbon pollution? The past week he has flown from Ottawa to Saskatchewan to Ottawa to Toronto to Charletown PEI to Toronto again and now to Iqualuit. Most likely throw in Montreal and Ottawa a couple more times. And that's just the few I read in the paper. What a lying disrespectful sack of shit he is. Or maybe he and I and Failmaker have a different experience of his actions. Yeah that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the year as a whole, the merchandise trade deficit with the world narrowed from $24.6 billion in 2017 to $21.7 billion in 2018. Exports Exports decreased 3.8% to $46.3 billion in December, as a result of falling crude oil prices. For the whole year 2018, exports were up 6.5% to $585.4 billion, led by higher exports of energy products. Imports Imports rose 1.6%, to $50.9 billion in December. Mainly on higher imports of energy products. For the whole year 2018, imports were up 5.7% to $607.1 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 OTTAWA, Nov. 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Today Export Development Canada (EDC) released its fall Global Export Forecast, and expectations for 2019 show solid export growth across all provinces. Nationally, exports of goods are expected to grow another four per cent in 2019, following a six per cent boost this year. "There have certainly been some ups and downs among the provinces this year," said Peter Hall, Chief Economist at EDC. "It isn't surprising, given the major economic and trade-related stories that Canadian exporters lived through during 2018. We expect conditions to stabilize in 2019, with growth forecast across every province and territory." Provincial Spotlights: Newfoundland and Labrador is looking at a 33 per cent increase in exports this year and should see another double-digit increase in 2019 thanks to increasing oil production from the Hebron offshore oil platform and the ramp-up of Vale's Long Harbour nickel processing plant. Prince Edward Island's exports are expected to contract by four per cent this year, but frozen food manufacturing – PEI's largest export industry – will support a rebound of eight per cent growth for 2019. In New Brunswick, exports should rise by 10 per cent this year – double the five percent projected last spring – and will rack up another solid year in 2019. Stronger commodity prices, improved conditions in the fishing sector and the US International Trade Commission's decision to rescind duties on Canadian newsprint exports are behind the jump. In Ontario, maxed-out US auto sales and the uncertainty around the future of NAFTA weighed negatively on the outlook for much of 2018. EDC suggests the province's exports will grow by only one per cent this year (revised down from the four per cent forecast in the spring). Exports from British Columbia have also been softer than expected this year. EDC projects that the province will end up with a four per cent increase, down a shade from the spring forecast. However, expectations for 2019 are up, with another four percent increase in the works. Alberta enjoyed a banner year in 2018 with 11 per cent growth driven in part by the ramping up of oil production for the Fort Hills oil sands project. 2019 will build on this growth with another three per cent increase, thanks to new export capacity growth in the energy sector and the anticipated opening of the Cavendish Farms frozen potato processing plant.

ArcticCrusher Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Quote Trudeau said there were lessons to be learned from the controversy, including lessons about leadership. “I believe that real leadership is about listening, learning and compassion,” he said. “One of the things central to my leadership is fostering an environment where my ministers, caucus and staff feel comfortable coming to me when they have concerns.” Quoting that portion of Trudeau’s speech, Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes tweeted, “I did come to you recently. Twice. Remember your reactions?” https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/zma8dx/liberal-mp-celina-caesar-chavannes-claps-back-at-justin-trudeau-over-his-non-apology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSBC just lowered its GDP forecast of 1.6% to a revised 1.1% for 2019. The sunniest of ways. Quote “We are revising our forecast of GDP growth for 2019 down to 1.1%, from our prior forecast of 1.6% … we now expect the Bank of Canada to remain on hold, leaving the policy rate unchanged at 1.75% this year… Our forecast of a more moderate growth trajectory follows weaker than expected GDP growth of only 0.4% GDP in 2018 Q4. However, it was the details of the report, notably the softness in domestic demand, that convinced us to lower our forecast. In the quarter, investment fell in all key categories. As well, consumption and housing were weaker than expected due in part to slower income growth, and the impact of higher interest rates.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
