1trailmaker Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 but won't see Chief Justice George R. Strathy said in the 4-1 split decision that the carbon tax was within Parliament’s jurisdiction to legislate in matters of “national concern,” citing the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions as an existential threat to human civilization. He said the tax leaves ample scope for provincial legislation. In a joint statement, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Environment, Conservation and Parks Minister Jeff Yurek said the province was “disappointed” with the ruling and would appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Saskatchewan provincial government took to the courts on the carbon tax in February. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal similarly ruled in favor of the federal government by a 3-2 decision in May, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

steve6 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Get rid of this fucking idiot https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/blows-keep-coming-for-our-economy-and-the-bank-of-canada-will-be-left-to-clean-up-the-mess/ar-BB10kMUz?li=AAggNb9 Quote The Canadian economy is off to a terrible start to 2020 as four years of inept government policy are starting to come home to roost. Manufacturing sales have posted their fourth consecutive negative reading, retail sales were stagnant to end 2019 and signs are that GDP growth is stalling and may actually be negative when accounted for on a per-capita basis. We worry that our booming housing market may not be enough to prevent this situation from worsening, with the potential for a recession that could drag interest rates and the loonie lower as well. And concerns about the coronavirus and its global economic impact couldn’t come at a worse time. The problem is that the PMO has for the most part appeared more concerned with other issues, such as securing a UN Security Council seat, than it has on ensuring the economy stays on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1trailmaker Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On 2/20/2020 at 1:17 AM, 1trailmaker said: TORONTO -- Canada's top bank economists predict the country will see a few bright spots in 2020, even as the globe grapples with uncertainty in the Middle East and China. The country will likely experience wins in the equity, housing and oil markets, leading economists told attendees at a Toronto breakfast put on by the Economic Club of Canada on Wednesday. Avery Shenfeld, managing director and chief economist at CIBC Capital Markets, said he expects the Canadian equity market to slightly edge ahead of one of its biggest competitors. "We've gotten used to the fact that the Canadian equity market kind of trails the U.S. equity market year after year, but...this might be the year that they nudge their nose above the S&P 500 in terms of performance," he said. "It may not be a banner year, but still a bit better than the U.S." He believes profit growth may return to U.S. equities, but won't repeat the strong year they had last year. Highlights Real GDP is forecast to expand by 1.8 per cent in 2020 and 1.9 per cent in 2021. This is up slightly from 2019’s 1.7 per cent gain. Canada’s trade sector will continue to be challenged by weak global growth. Business investment has been dismal over the past few years. But prospects for energy investment are looking much more promising, thanks to improvements in energy takeaway capacity. And the outlook for the non-energy side remains moderate. Canada’s economy will be supported by strong labour markets and modest growth in consumer spending. While most provincial governments are expected to maintain a high degree of spending restraint as they work to balance their books, at the federal level the newly re-elected Liberal government is expected to increase spending and reduce taxes. With global economic conditions stabilizing, we think the Bank of Canada will make no changes to interest rates in 2020. On 2/18/2020 at 5:27 PM, irv said: Canada: Manufacturing Sales declined 0.7% in December, fourth straight negative reading NEWS | 13:49 GMT | By Eren Sengezer Manufacturing sector in Canada continued to weaken toward the end of 2019. USD/CAD pair gained traction and rose toward 1.33 on disappointing data. Manufacturing Sales in Canada fell by 0.7% to $56.4 billion in December to post the fourth consecutive negative reading, Statistics Canada reported on Tuesday. This figure missed the market expectation for an increase of 0.5% by a wide margin. Additionally, November's reading got revised down to -1% from -0.6%. "Sales were down in 11 of 21 industries, representing 42.6% of the Canadian manufacturing sector," the press release read. "The largest declines were in the motor vehicle assembly and aerospace product and parts industries." Even though recent weakness has often been the result of temporary factors including plant shutdowns and strikes, the manufacturing sector continues to struggle, with sales down 2.1 per cent from a year earlier, the biggest drop since 2016. Also concerning is the uptick in the inventory to sales ratio to 1.54 in October, still resting at one of the highest levels since the financial crisis. The high level of inventories poses a risk to the sector if companies opt to draw on stockpiles instead of increase production. https://economics.td.com/ca-manufacturing-sales On 2/21/2020 at 9:25 AM, 1trailmaker said: for IRV The Stock Market and Businesses For individual businesses, stock market changes can impact finances in a number of ways: first, through consumer spending and second, through company investment into capital. The increased consumer spending that’s seen during stock market growth translates to increased revenue for companies that sell goods and services in these growing markets. This environment leads to increased confidence in the stock market, and as seen above, consumer confidence is an indicator of additional positive performance. Likewise, when the stock market is falling, consumers are less confident and choose to save rather than spend; thus, company revenue will decrease, especially in the cases of luxury or non-essential goods and services, which are the first to be cut when stock prices drop. 17,944.06 +18.70 (0.10%) Feb. 20, 4:20 p.m. EST should hit 18k today maybe Monday - Canadian Businesses are do great On 2/21/2020 at 7:03 PM, 1trailmaker said: no doubt some Provinces haven't got things moving, Alberta continues its down turn, their politics have brought this one it seems. Ontario not so much from your article... Ontario booming The health of Canadian consumers depends to some degree on where you look. In 2019, Ontario and Quebec saw retail-sales growth of 2.8 per cent and 1.9 per cent, respectively. Those provinces also registered the strongest job creation last year, in raw numbers. But the view is decidedly weaker in provinces whose fortunes are more closely tied to commodity prices. While Alberta improved from 2018’s 2-per-cent drop, retail sales still declined 0.9 per cent last year, Statscan said. Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador also posted declines for the second consecutive year. There were, however, some positive signs. E-commerce sales grew by 22 per cent in 2019, while most retail categories experienced growth in December, including clothing and health-related stores.

irv Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Trudeau's policies are cutting Canada's economic throat. Not only are we killing domestic and international investments to develop these resources, our lack of pipelines means we can’t get our existing oil and gas supplies to tidewater and from there to global markets. That means we’re forced to sell them at huge discounts to the United States, year after year, literally turning our backs on billions of dollars of economic development, thousands of well-paying jobs and increased tax revenues to fund health care, education and other public services. Recall Trudeau’s legislation making it all but impossible to get our oil to global markets from B.C. by banning tanker traffic, and his sister legislation making the environmental assessment process even more byzantine than it already was. What this ignores is that Trudeau and Co. have sent out a message to the world that while Canada has the world’s third-largest oil reserves, and we’re the fourth-largest producer and fifth-largest exporter of natural gas, his government isn’t truly serious about developing them. This is economic madness. There’s no other way to describe it. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-trudeaus-policies-are-cutting-canadas-economic-throat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
