It was a somewhat ordinary day for David Pyott, the CEO of Allergan, back in April 2014. That is until his eyes glanced over at the TV screen in his office, where he learned that billionaire hedge fund manager and activist investor Bill Ackman was about to back the takeover of his company by way of a hostile takeover. The acquirer was none other than the infamous and controversial pharmaceutical company, Valeant Pharmaceuticals. Valeant was a Wall Street darling and one of Canada's largest companies. So why and how did this transaction lead to Valeant's downfall only a year later? Listen to Episode 53 of The Great Fail to hear the story.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an emissions cap for Canada's oil and gas sector as he looks for the country to get to net-zero by 2050. But what does that mean for Alberta's oil patch as big players plan their own transition to net-zero, and does it set up another political battle between Alberta and Ottawa?

In July, manufacturing output rose 1.4 percent. About half of the gain in factory output is attributable to a jump of 11.2 percent for motor vehicles and parts, as a number of vehicle manufacturers trimmed or canceled their typical July shutdowns. Despite the large increase last month, vehicle assemblies continued to be constrained by a persistent shortage of semiconductors; the production of motor vehicles and parts in July was about 3-1/2 percent below its recent peak in January 2021. The output of utilities decreased 2.1 percent in July, while the index for mining rose 1.2 percent. https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/Current/default.htm Manufacturing activity in the Philly region continued to grow, according to the firms responding to the August Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey. https://www.philadelphiafed.org/surveys-and-data/regional-economic-analysis/mbos-2021-08 Empire State Mfg Survey: Slower Growth in August https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/commentaries/2021/08/16/empire-state-mfg-survey-slower-growth-in-august

Robert Gottliebsen, Business Columnist with The Australian, regarding his recent article where he analyses that over the past 20 or 30 years Australia has based its industrial and retail base systems on a global “just in time” supply chain network. Mr Gottliebsen writes, ‘And for the most part it worked and led to a vast array of goods at low prices arriving when required, so reducing the need for large stocks. This gave consumers greater choice, curbed our inflation and boosted corporate profits.’ ‘But in the pandemic, the system broke down and became much less reliable and far more costly. Australian companies are only now starting to tell the market how they are being impacted.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scams as fraud reports surge amid pandemic - "Consumers reported losing more than $3.3 billion to fraud in 2020, up a whopping 83% from $1.8 billion a year before."

Rates for many of the communications and content services we've all grown to rely on over the last year have risen recently or will rise in 2021, and there's little you can do about it.
