wow this is just too easy

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will attend the Calgary Stampede after all, backtracking on an earlier decision to skip the event that angered some Albertans.

2016 was a good year, 2017 has not been.

FYI, 2011 gdp growth was 3.1% and tsx lost almost 11%.

Okay today the numbers are better than what you just stated and that is with oil less than 50$ a barrel - if only Harper was still PM we could rejoice

 

 

any back to 2017 not good? wtf

The Canadian economy advanced 0.9 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2017, following an upwardly revised 0.7 percent expansion in the previous period. Growth was boosted by a surge in vehicles purchases and a rebound in business investment while exports fell. Expressed at an annualized rate, the GDP rose 3.7 percent, beating expectations of 3.6 percent. GDP Growth Rate in Canada averaged 0.79 percent from 1961 until 2017, reaching an all time high of 3.33 percent in the fourth quarter of 1963 and a record low of -2.30 percent in the first quarter of 2009.

Growth was led by a surge in household purchases of vehicles and a rebound in business investment while exports fell. Expressed at an annualized rate, the GDP rose 3.7 percent, beating expectations of 3.6 percent.
 

Household expenditure rose 1.1 percent, following a 0.7 percent gain the previous quarter. Outlays on goods grew 1.5 percent, mainly boosted by a 2.3 percent rise in purchase of vehicles. Outlays on services went up 0.7 percent. 

 

Business gross fixed capital formation rose 2.9 percent, following declines in eight of the previous nine quarters (-2.7 percent in the fourth quarter). Growth was driven by housing investment (3.7 percent from 1.5 percent in the previous quartert). New contruction investment increased 3.9 percent while ownership transfer costs grew 5.8 percent, largely due to strong resale activity in the Ontario market. Renovation activity increased 2.1 percent. Business investment in machinery and equipment rebounded (5.8 percent), following declines in four of the previous five quarters. The increase was concentrated in investment in industrial machinery and equipment (4.7 percent), computers and computer peripheral equipment (7.5 percent) and medium and heavy trucks, buses and other motor vehicles (5.8 percent), which were reflected in rising imports for all of these goods.

 

Businesses accumulated CAD 12.2 billion in inventories in the first quarter, following a draw-down of CAD 2.8 billion in the previous quarter.

 

Exports of goods and services edged down 0.1 percent, following a 0.2 percent gain in the fourth quarter. Exports of goods were unchanged overall, with increases in motor vehicles and parts (3.8 percent) and farm, fishing and intermediate food products (7 percent) offsetting declines in aircraft and other transportation equipment and parts (-11.7 percent) and metal ores and non-metallic minerals (-8.5 percent). Exports of services were down 0.5 percent, mostly due to a 1.1 percent decline in commercial services. Higher exports of travel services (0.9 percent) partially offset the decline.

 

Imports of goods and services rebounded with a 3.3 percent increase in the first quarter, offsetting a 3 percent decline in the fourth quarter. Increased imports of goods (3.7 percent) offset a 3.7 percent decline in the fourth quarter. The import of the Hebron oil platform in the third quarter led to 1.2 percent growth in that quarter and the subsequent decline in the fourth. Imports of services rose 1.3 percent in the first quarter.

I love THE THINK TANK

found this interesting

Comparatively, Canadian families spent 33.5 per cent on taxes in 1961, according to the study. This amounts to a nearly 158 per cent increase in tax bills from 1961 to 2016, when accounting for inflation. Most Canadians’ income instead went to food, closing and housing (56.5 per cent) at that time

 

bold - is there anything else that hasn't gone up 300-400-500% ? bread milk coffee

 

our parents are costing us again lol

Probably not unforeseen seeing as their product isn't something that is bought every day. The Nuclear Dept was sold to BWXT a year or so ago. A friend that has worked quite a few years @ GE & is now working for BWXT has said he will see how things go when the current GE labour agreement expires. He doesn't have a real warm & fuzzy feeling about that outlook. Cameco supplies Bruce w/ their fuel bundles while Ptbo supplies OPG. Apparently Cameco's costs/wages are lower than GE/BWXT is so he figures the new owners will be after some major concessions.

irregular - instead of going to a normal border crossing and asking for asylum like has been done forever, they cross at irregular places.  the fact that you guys are making this a Trudeau thing is laughable, its been happening for a very very long time

The bold is simply not true

I am going to hand out some Clues so you can  have atleast one

 

A temporary camp erected by Canadian troops near the Lacolle border crossing is being expanded due to the continuing influx of asylum seekers.

On Wednesday, nearly 100 troops were deployed to set up the tent village. Between 22 and 25 tents with flooring, heat and electricity were erected, a number that has since been increased to 32.

In total, officials said the camp should be able to hold 500 people.

 

“During nighttime, starting late evening yesterday, we had 38 people who moved into the camp,” he said. “At the moment, I know they are better here than they probably have been for the past hours and days, which is good.”

Another army official said some of those who have arrived are suffering from a gastrointestinal bug, making logistics of housing more difficult due to the necessity of quarantining those suffering from the illness.

While CAF troops are not aiding in any security or law enforcement operations at the camp, a military official said Canada Border Services Agents are ensuring those who have crossed the border are contained and remaining on site until they’re processed.

Meanwhile the asylum seekers are quite pleased with the accommodations.

 

 

Meanwhile Parti Quebecois leader Jean-Francois Lisée criticized the provincial and federal liberals on their handling of the asylum seekers, saying that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Philippe Couillard were both trying to seduce asylum seekers, while knowing that half would likely be rejected as refugees.
