David Kelly of JPMorgan, $JPM: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."

@TheGregYang The business graphics (logo, process graphics, etc) are not good. Not logical or even good as idea starters.

Ottawa, we have a problem.

Cdn productivity -1.4% YOY and has contracted outright 10 of the past 11 quarters. PMO is camouflaging "the situation via aggressive immigration."

Canada’s labour productivity—that is, how much stuff each hour of work produces on average—fell for the fourth consecutive quarter...it’s equivalent to $5,500 per person in lost economic output.

My Great Grandpa (Claude) took his mother out for a ride to inspect the farm in Chamberlain, Saskatchewan, sometime around 1915. I'd love to know what car he is driving.

In 2008 Canada had a slightly higher GDP/capita than Australia. Today Australia's is 20% higher: USD$68,701 versus our $57,008.
The reason? Australia is 4th largest miner (vs 8th for CAN) and 2nd largest LNG exporter (versus 0 for CAN).
Policy matters.

"Ozanada’s natural bounty has weakened its incentive to build globally competitive industries in other areas. That may explain why, beyond commodities and outdoor apparel, the list of successful Ozanadian multinationals is so short." "https://t.co/feGTfgijqZ

Canadian living standards are on the decline! In 1981, living standards in Canada were well above the OECD19 average. This is no longer the case. Why isn't this central to the public discourse? #cdnpoli

A century of economic growth grinds to a halt. Annual growth in Canada's per capita output, adjusted for inflation, exceeded 3 per cent in the 1960s. It has been slowing ever since and in the last decade has petered out altogether. This is a crisis!

Canada’s productivity has been falling. Now back to 2017 levels.

In my latest for @TheHubCanada, I explore the widening gap with the US: https://t.co/bWPEKXav7c #cdnecon

"Although wholesale costs have now fallen across the continent, the prices of domestic electricity and gas, compared with two years earlier, were up by an eye-watering 69% and 145% last winter." https://t.co/rMKRWs57RQ

Copper reserves stand at 880 million tonnes. Industry will need 4.5 billion tonnes of copper to manufacture just one generation of renewable technologies. That’s six times the volume of copper mined throughout history. https://t.co/MtyAbjLe30

So lets take a look at the new "Green" VW battery being built in Canada. How Green is it? The battery chemistry is Lithium iron phosphate or lithium ferro-phosphate (LFP). It requires Manganese, phosphate, iron, and lithium. #GreenEnergy 🧵
