The chapters cover the purpose of economic forecasting, the current method of capturing and measuring the Canadian economy, criticism of existing models, the importance of theory and data in economic modeling, the Bank of Canada's motivation for change and addressing model gaps, a comparison of the Canadian model with other countries, the influence of the Federal Reserve on Canadian monetary policy, accountability and decision-making in monetary policy, and the alignment of Canadian and US monetary policy.Takeaways:Economic forecasting models are essential for conducting monetary policy and determining the appropriate policy interest rate.The Bank of Canada currently uses two models, one focused on empirical performance and the other on theoretical rigor.There has been criticism of the existing models, particularly regarding their ability to accurately predict real-world economic behavior.The Bank of Canada is transitioning to a new model that aims to blend theory and empirical performance.The new model will address gaps in the previous models, such as the representation of the financial sector and the housing market.The Bank of Canada's monetary policy is influenced by the Federal Reserve, and the two countries tend to move in the same direction.The ultimate decision-making in monetary policy lies with the governing council, who consider a range of factors beyond the models.Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute in partnership with The Natural Step.

In this interview, Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, discusses some of the tax hikes that will hit Canadian consumers in 2024. PRESS RELEASE Brace for impact: more federal tax hikes in 2024 OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation released its annual New Year's Tax Changes report today to highlight major tax changes in 2024. “Tax hikes will give Canadians a hangover in the new year,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “Canadians need help with the rising cost of living, but the feds will be reaching deeper into our pockets with major tax hikes in 2024.” Payroll taxes: The federal government is raising the mandatory Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance contributions in 2024. These payroll tax increases will cost a worker up to $347 next year. For workers making $73,200 or more, federal payroll taxes (CPP and EI tax) will cost them $5,104 in 2024. Their employer will also be forced to pay $5,524. Carbon tax: The federal carbon tax is increasing to more than 17 cents per litre of gas and 15 cents per cubic metre of natural gas on Apr. 1, 2024. The carbon tax will cost the average household between $377 and $911 in 2024-25, even after the rebates, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Alcohol escalator tax: Alcohol taxes will increase by 4.7 per cent on Apr. 1, 2024. Taxes already account for about half of the price of beer, 65 per cent of the price of wine and more than three quarters of the price of spirits. This tax hike will cost Canadians almost $100 million next year. “Canadians pay too much tax because the government wastes too much money,” Terrazzano said. “Canadians need relief now, and that means Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must drop his plans to raises taxes in 2024.” You can find the CTF's New Year's Tax Changes report here.

We dive here into market considerations. What will the market for EVs look like in the US and Canada in the next years. Will the market demand exist for a massive EV industrial development in Ontario?The Canadian automotive sector, which is mostly located in Ontario, has always been highly dependent on the existence of a strong market, and of course on market access, in the US. Will such high reliance on the US market be possible with made-in-Canada electric vehicles? And will the actual market demand for EVs be as high as anticipated to justify the recently announced massive investments and subsidies?We will look at these considerations in this analysis, which stresses the critical role of national-level politics, both in the US and in Canada, for the future of EVs in North America. Other important factors, such as the competition from China and disparate electricity prices, are also looked at. We then show that the report by Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer about the billions of dollars of subsidies for battery plants in Ontario, while highly critical of the governmental decisions, actually underestimates the risks of those investments.Article at this link: https://covexit.substack.com/p/considerable-market-uncertainties

Brendan Sweeney, managing director of the Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing, Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, deconstructs the recent Parliamentary Budget Officer report that says it will take the federal government 20 years to break even on its investments in two electric-vehicle battery plants in Ontario.

If you've been buying over the counter meds in the hope that they will unstuff your stuffy nose - you've been wasting your money. The U.S. authorities have ruled that the main ingredient - phenylephrine - does not work. It replaced an older ingredient in 2006 and it is in up to 250 medications. So my big question for the panel is: do these pills do anything else? Anything useful?

And, Libby has a bone to pick with OpenTable. ---- IT WILL TAKE 20 YEARS FOR ONTARIO AND OTTAWA TO BREAK EVEN ON EV SUBSIDIES Libby Znaimer is now joined by Yves Giroux, the Parliamentary Budget Officer. According to a report from Mr. Giroux, it will take 20 years for Ontario and the feds to break even on $28 billion in government subsidies in electric vehicle plant subsidies in St. Thomas and Windsor. He breaks it down for us. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

In 2013, England's chief medical officer warned of a health "armageddon" as bacteria learn to overcome antibiotics and new drugs aren't available to counteract the situation. She said "antibiotics are losing their effectiveness at a ratte that is both alarming and irreversible, similar to global warming. TGhe apocalyptic scenario is that when I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." Ten years later the World Health Organization warns of AMR as a top 10 global public health threat. AMR is "antimicrobial resistance." It is the same issue Professor Sally Edwards warned about in England in 2013. Projections are that by 2050 AMR will cost Canada's healthcare system $7.6 billion. The British medical journal The Lancet showed that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were already caused by AMR. Between 2010 and 2019, 18 novel antibiotics were introduced across 14 develope nations. Only 2 of these new antibiotics are available in Canada. Guest: Jason Tetro. Microbiologist.

I am one of those Canadians living in vehicle. It's brutal! It's tiring. And it's not cheap. In just 4 weeks of living in my vehicle I'm exhausted from lack of sleep, I'm sore, I'm hungry, I'm job hunting feverishly and I'm watching my credit score plummet as I can't keep up with minimum payments. My little 2012 Ford Escape doedsn't have a kitchen. I hope that despite your show's full roster, there's a way to shine a little light on the plight of us who have already fallen through the cracks." Guest: Peter in B.C. Shares his experience.

It's Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show! This week, Candice Malcolm and True North producer Harrison Faulkner discuss Will Smith's violent reaction at the Oscars and highlight every thing wrong with the entertainment industry. Plus, as hundreds of people attended Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre's campaign events, a former Liberal MP came up with a bizarre conspiracy that photos of the large crowds were somehow photoshopped.
