Hansard Transcript 2023-Nov-15 vol A Legislative Assembly of Ontario

China property developers are too big to fail, yet also too big for an easy fix. Taken all together, we feel more comfortable having a moderate overweight in international developed markets. If all goes according to plan, we could increase this weighting should better entry points arise due to slowing economic activity. In the meantime, we think the valuations offer a good safety buffer and believe falling correlations with the TSX provide an added benefit. Then, what about those tailwinds that didn’t get identified that are also very important? Well, COVID is a big shakeup to society and when you’ve got a big shakeup to society, the way that we live and work and commute and interact with our homes, a lot of people are going to pull up stakes and start moving.

Francois Legault wants the Trudeau government to fall

Their coalition of the left is strong and they have a solid hold on the Millennial cohort. The Liberal Government is getting positive reviews from the NDP as well as from a few Red Tories (13%). The general mood in Canada is that the economy is good and getting better and this is the bottom line for most people. While the government might have its missteps and gaffes, so long as Canadians sense things are getting better and feel like they are prepared for the future they are willing to forgive and forget political blunders. Sunny ways might be here to stay for the foreseeable future but a dark cloud of youth unemployment is weighing heavily on that horizon. If Trudeau can’t make good on those election promise that third of economically pessimistic Millennials could easily swing to a Party whose economic trumpet is aptly polished.

• After a mid-month mini spike, the VIX has tumbled back down to its recent lows, with the summer lull back in full effect.
• My initial foray into Abacus Market was driven by curiosity and the need to find a reliable marketplace.
• For example, an historic commitment of $185 billion over 10 years underscores our government’s ambitious plan to build highways, to build roads, transit, hospitals, schools, child care spaces, broadband and other critical infrastructure.
• — The 10 strongest associations with the Conservative Party were “old fashioned”, “proud of Canada” “oil” “tough on crime” “favour some over others” doesn’t care about you” spends on the wrong things” “elitist”, “does not trust people” and “economically savvy”.
• Much like whatever the startup du jour is, AI has been a decades-in-the-making overnight success.
• Wearable tech has applications in both the private and public sectors and is successfully being used to enhance service deliver across fields.
• The only thing this tax has ever done is raise costs on people’s energy use—energy to heat their homes.

Legislative business

If you are a regular visitor to ISRM you will have noticed the other new gallery on ‘slide rule calculators’ which was inspired by the 40th anniversary of the introduction of the HP-35 electronic slide rule, or scientific calculator. Within 5 years, the slide rule industry was out of business. What I did not stop to realize was that the abacus industry also was displaced by the basic electronic four-function calculator, creating significant changes in that part of Japanese manufacturing. I hope to learn more about this as together, we build this gallery.

• Before the Nord railway line got so busy and Jean-Paul was away all the time, he liked to visit the post office around closing time, when Camille was tidying the back rooms, ostensibly to walk her home, but really because he wanted to socialize with the Dumonts.
• But I really want to talk about the motion today and the absolute hypocrisy of the federal Liberals and the Prime Minister of Canada to bring forth a bill, a regulatory change, that would remove the carbon tax from a portion of the people of Canada on oil for home heating.
• If anyone can provide insight into solving problems of multiplication and division using traditional schoty methods, I’d be very grateful for an email.
• Well, interest rates are a problem, but I don’t think he’s exactly answering the question.

• Inside, every detail and every feature of these Modern Farmhouse singles imbue contemporary style with historic charm.

We will not be sidetracked on that mission, despite the fact that the NDP and the Liberals worked so hard for 15 years, put obstacles in the way that the largest land mass in the country has a housing crisis. We’ll disentangle that, we’ll get the homes built, we’ll get people out of their parents’ basements and into the homes that they deserve. I know the Minister of Finance and the parliamentary assistants are criss-crossing the province, doing—do you know what? Not talking to people on the phone; they’re meeting face to face, getting ideas on what we should have in the next budget. Like every other minister of the government, we’re not contemplating how many times did I turn my phone on each and every day. You know, my iPad—actually I can text-message on my iPad.

Liberal cabinet meeting in P.E.I. to discuss housing, the economy and the plight of millennials

This week we met with Ontario Liberal Party Leader Steven Del Duca and used the opportunity to talk about some of the challenges we face as an industry that I listed above. TIAO is a strictly non-partisan group but we are committed to ensuring that whomever is elected Premier of the province in June, or whatever government is elected, they know exactly the type of support we need from government from Day 1. One of the things I think we just have to be mindful of, is this pandemic is likely going to continue to increase inequality but there’s also a lot of consumers who haven’t been able to travel, who haven’t been able to spend on other discretionary things. As we talked about earlier, the home is now more important. For REALTORS® for the sector, there’s real upside there that not only is the home more important than ever, but there’s a lot of people who have a lot of money saved up that at some point, they’re going to open up and spend it again. That’s I think, the hopeful side, hopefully looking to 2021.

Food banks

We provide both the tools and incentives to empower Ontarians, giving them the resources they need to create a more prosperous province, both in terms of the economy and the environment. The resounding call from Canadians is for the federal government to heed this collective voice and promptly remove the carbon tax from home heating bills nationwide. The argument extends beyond a mere aversion to taxation and encapsulates a fundamental belief in the necessity of equitable policies that do not disproportionately burden certain segments of the population. While the federal government has taken a step by announcing the removal of the carbon tax from home heating oil for a three-year duration, the impact of this relief is limited, benefiting only a mere 3% of Canadian households. This fact underscores the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to carbon tax relief that addresses the concerns of the majority. The data from the Leger poll serves as a barometer of public sentiment, and it reinforces the urgency for policymakers to consider a broader strategy that aligns with the values and expectations of Canadians.

School safety

Ladies and gentlemen, I can’t wait to share our announcement on Monday as a perfect example of how our government continues to listen and we continue to get the job done for Ontario farmers. Mr. Speaker, children and youth are our future, and our government is making and will continue to invest in them. Because of the carbon tax, good companies like Carmeuse, who operate a lime kiln near Blind River, are being negatively impacted. The majority of the carbon dioxide they produce is part of the process of turning limestone into lime. All of this goes to make a different apples-and-oranges comparison, but what we can tell you is more people are getting access to care faster, paid for with their OHIP card, and that’s what people care about.

Within the fixed income space, we prefer the safety of investment grade bonds and government debt, believing the risk/reward trade-off in the high yield space is not yet tilted in the investor’s favour. Despite the continued sell-off in emerging market shares, we’ve yet to even dip our toe into this asset class. Within alternatives, we prefer real assets and defensive strategies.

Lifestyle

That trend resumed and supplies started dropping very quickly to the point that by this February, before COVID, supply across Canada was at a 13-year low. The number of months of inventory was about maybe 1/10th of 1% one decimal point away from being the tightest it had ever been. I think the gaps between generations, I think of my parents who are in their mid-60s, who we describe sometimes as digital immigrants because they weren’t born with technology.

30 p.m. EDT: What do Canadians want?

When the federal government forced the carbon tax on Ontario, hard-working families were slapped with a 14.3-cent-per-litre increase on the price of gas, costing them hundreds of dollars a year. As if that wasn’t already expensive enough, the federal carbon tax is costing families more in grocery bills every month. The costs are passed on to the consumer when transportation, refrigeration and electricity prices increase because of the carbon tax.

• It, with corresponding applications, informs the wearer of anything from how many steps they’ve taken to how many carbs and nutrients they have consumed.
• AS CAMILLE CYCLED TO THE post office, the sun finally broke free of the cloud bank, casting an amber glow across the horizon beyond Crécy Forest.
• As most employers and Boomer parents might of noticed, their Millennial interns and children have taken up the mantel of “self-health” with a fervour often reserved  for Apple users and those charity canvassers we avoid eye contact with on street corners.
• We have Laurier, an excellent institution; University of Waterloo—they were here recently—an amazing research institution; and then we have Conestoga College.
• Just this year alone, the federal carbon tax is adding about $290 to the average household’s annual natural gas bill, or more than $24 a month.
• That is why I’m proud to be part of a government who is actually getting the important work done on this project.
• Even 49% of Conservative voters give the government a passing or better grade, as do 67% of NDP voters.
• Don’t worry; they would be there for cities, and public transit is their most important priority.

A long-term student of the markets, Craig’s thoughts and insights can be seen in his Market Ethos publications and through his regular contributions on BNN. We’re also seeing some overall improvement across our fundamental metrics. Though EPS revisions moved negative, the tail end of earnings season continued to impress, with EPS growth going positive in both Canada and the US.

True debate is when we can listen to one side of an argument—or you have a view of one side and you listen to another side, and you say, by listening to the other side, you learn something new and you think about a better way to do something. I would certainly like the government side to think about the motion that was mentioned this morning by my fellow member from Orléans about reducing the provincial portion of the HST on home heating. That’s the kind of thing that could actually, again, put money back into the pockets of Ontarians.

Trudeau’s middle class economics

Black Opportunity Fund is currently building the infrastructure and developing our investment thesis, for an investment entity, and will shortly begin searching for Black businesses to invest in. We are pleased to be working in collaboration with the Afro Caribbean Business Network (ACBN) who is a trusted community delivery partner with a history of providing capacity building support for Canadian Black entrepreneurs. We’re going to keep doing things to help our families here in Ontario, so they can achieve what they have to achieve. I know that the federal NDP have supported getting rid of the tax as well, so that’s nice to hear, that the federal NDP are supporting what we want to do here in the province of Ontario. I want to thank Dr. Jacobs again, and I want to thank the Minister of Finance and his team, including his parliamentary assistants, for all their great work on the fall economic statement and on Bill 146.

From Anthropologie To Amazon: Here Are The Best Deals You’ll Find Online This Weekend

I’ve talked about this—actually, I think I talked about it a couple of weeks ago. Poor track conditions and multiple crossings had reduced train speeds, Madam Speaker, to 16 kilometres per hour, if you can believe that. That’s slower than some people can run through the city of Guelph. Due to the work that Metrolinx has done under our leadership, those trains now travel that same stretch of track at 40 kilometres an hour. As I just mentioned, the 2019 business case report from Metrolinx notes that the expansion of rail service between Kitchener and Toronto “has been a key aspiration for communities” along the corridor.

• And the Eglinton Crosstown—I mean, I feel so badly, and I know our MPPs have been really advocating for the completion of that, but the Ontario Line is at $1 billion for a kilometre.
• But here we are—again, a government that’s taking steps to make Ontario greener and cleaner.
• The educational assistants themselves are running in between classrooms, holding walkie-talkies, trying to figure out which student is having the greatest emergency so that they can provide immediate care to them while other students’ needs are going unaddressed.
• I guess there’s positives that are supportive for the housing market that they’re low, but generally, they have a neutral effect if they don’t go anywhere for the next few years.
• With over 25 years of investment experience, Craig combines an educational foundation in economics & psychology with years of experience in both fundamental and quantitative research.
• Recent data released by Abacus showed that 43% of Canadians felt not comfortable at all going to a full sports stadium and 39% felt not comfortable at all getting on an airplane.
• In fact, Speaker, all this government has been able to deliver for the people of Kitchener-Waterloo so far are excuses after excuses, and excuses aren’t going to help the people of Kitchener-Waterloo get to and from work.

Abacus has found that among Gen Z voters (those born between 1997 and 2005), the Liberals trail the Conservatives by four points. Among millennials (those born between 1980 and 1996), the Liberals trail by 11 points. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tapped Treasury Board President Anita Anand to take on additional duties as Canada’s minister of transport on Thursday. B.C.’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a woman who was shot by the RCMP after allegedly barricading herself in a room with a toddler early Thursday morning.

Microsoft skipped the debate and instead just told everyone that it’s a product (called Copilot), and it is going to cost you 30 bucks a seat per month. There are currently 345 million paid seats using Office 365, and just like that, a product TAM of $120B+ in annualized revenue is born. The economic surprise indicators are rolling over pretty quickly as expectations for accelerating growth likely got a little optimistic. Levels are important, but it’s where the data comes in relative to expectations that are often more significant. As we head into the seasonally weak September, we have equities once again catching a bid on falling rates, weak JOLTs data, and consumer confidence. Reasonable in the short term, as bad news is still good news.
