Canadian Dollar Failure

21. What do many Canadian businesspeople NOT buy into with respect to the value of the Canadian dollar?

One of the big problems Canada has had recently is the recession. To reduce the effects of this catastrophe, we plan to give benefits to those most affected: the middle class. We will invest in jobs for those who lost theirs during the recession and provide benefits to

Ethos,pathos and logos are three of the most powerful persuasions in writing and literature. Ethos which is the appeal of ethics, Pathos which is the appeal of emotion, and lastly Logos which is the appeal of logic. William Shakespeare the author of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and Christie Key the blood drive coordinator and leader of the sorority Gamma Phi Beta used all three of these appeals in their writings. Even though logos is strong, the most effective of the three appeals is pathos because it deals with emotion.

The Canadian Dollar is very low, the cost of living is to high, salaries don’t match the inflation, and the unemployment rate continues to rise. In chapter seven of Dinner Party Economics, the calculation of the labour force and employment ratios are discussed. We can use those calculations and predict the future of the unemployment rate. If Canada does not improve fast, we could see the Canadian Dollar even lower. After reading chapters 11 and 12 of Dinner Party and relating the topics discussed to previous chapters I have determined that Canada is not doing so well. We all need to come together to fix Canada’s economy and the rising cost of living to support a

Even though some believe that the dollar is valued too high, it does not mean it should fall against the US dollar in the future. The Canadian dollar in recent years shows that it is almost impossible to accurately predict the evolution of exchange rate. Exchange rates depend on too many things. Economic and political conditions in the United States are some factors. The adaptation of the Canadian economy to a stronger Canadian dollar. Although Canadian dollar varies, I see good from it in the near future but it will not surpass the American

At present with more than 5% inflation rate, New Brunswick’s economy has been affected because the market price is unable to reflect the important information of the economy’s allocation of resources which is the overall pattern of production and consumption by firms and consumers. During times of inflation, market outcomes are not as efficient as they would be in the absence of inflation.

Canadians have become accustomed to great travel deals in the United States but those deals are no longer worth it with the low CAD, so instead of traveling south, Canadians are traveling locally at an increased rate. Canadians are getting the most out of their dollar by travelling across Canada, and Americans are getting the most out of the low CAD as well. The current exchange rate is $1.00 USD = $1.30 CAD so Canadians traveling south essentially pay 30% more for everything in the states. The Canadian hospitality industry is reaping the benefits of the low CAD, especially in western Canada, with the added business from locals and Americans seeking a deal. The Squamish Adventure Club, a British Columbian tourism hub for information and other attractions, has seen a 68% increase in American visitors over the first 6 months of 2016. There has also been an increase in Canadian tourists who don’t want to pay the automatic 30% mark-up across the border; the number of Canadians has almost doubled in the first half of 2016. The above average number of American tourists and local Canadians is expected to continue to rise throughout the peak tourism season and until the loonie rebounds and gains

In the 1970s and 1980s the Canadian economy was plagued by issues of inflation and unemployment, or stagflation, as it came to be known. It is generally believed the “severe years of surging inflation and unemployment were the result of the first (1973-1974) and second oil shocks (1979-1980), and the double digit inflation rates in many countries (though not all) that provoked the sense of crisis in these years were caused by the high price of energy, a major factor input” (LK, 2011). However, it is clear that inflation was already a problem in Canada prior to these oil shocks. What caused the inflation in the 1970s is of some debate; but it most likely resulted from the overly-expansionary monetary policies employed by the Bank of Canada;

In 2008, a financial crisis that originated in the United States led to the “Great Recession”, the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. While the well-regulated Canadian banks did not collapse as they did in the United States, Canada was still impacted severely. The Canadian economy should be examined in the context of the Great Recession, which it is still recovering from.

“Luckily, we got into a position by 2008 that we could deal with recession. We’ve done a lot of smart things. Can we do things better? Sure. But when you compare things to where they were 20 years ago, I think we should be proud-and not afraid of saying ‘look, people can learn some things from us.’” Almost every Canadian is proud of what Canada has been capable of doing over the past 20 years. Some reason that Canada is the best place in the world is opportunity, connection with nature, education and equality. Canada offers brilliant career opportunities for parents and for students who have graduated from high school or university. Canadians have a very strong bond between them and the nature in Canada because they consider nature as a human

The following essay will thoroughly examine the severe economic downturn of 2008, formerly known as the housing bubble collapse. We will mainly focus our discussion on the effects the financial crisis had on Canada and the U.S and examine why both countries were affected differently. Although the collapse of the housing bubble is the most identifiable cause, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint one specific defining moment or event triggering the global financial collapse. There are many factors involved, due to the complex nature of the financial systems across the world, and this paper will delve in the key contributing variables that led to this financial crises.

The US and Canada share more than just a border. Professional athletes from both countries can often be found on the other’s professional football, basketball, baseball and hockey teams. For instance, currently there are 6 teams in Canada that are currently part of US professional sports leagues. By the year 2035 it is predicted that there could be up to 11 new teams formed(Campbell). This is beneficial to both the US and Canada’s economy because professional sports are typically profitable and draw a lot of money. Because the teams host and employ both Americans and Canadians, some issues arise regarding currencies. Every country in the world has a form of legal payment which is called currency. Currency holds a particular value depending

The value of the Canadian dollar demonstrates how well the Canadian economy is doing compared to other countries. Likewise, in chapter three of Dinner Party Economics it is states that “money measures the standard of living” (19). The Canadian dollar either increases or decreases in value depending on the amount of goods and services purchased. Currently the Canadian dollar has dropped, which demonstrates how the Canadian government is doing a poor job improving the economy. The value of the Canadian dollar dropping causes inflation to occur, making too many Canadians save their money opposed to spending it. In chapter six it mentions that inflation is the real enemy of money (62). Therefore, in order to decrease inflation, spending money is essential. If Canadians do not spend their money, the increase of prices on goods and services will cause unemployment

You’re having a relaxing swim in the ocean but then suddenly you see it-a fin.

In Bradshaw and Sloan’s (2002) article, there are several evidences show that market participants like analysts, investors and managers are stressing on the Street earnings. Street earnings is favoured by the majority because it provides additional useful and relevant information and makes the firm look better since it generates higher value. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) earnings is the traditional measurement based on regulations and it is not relevant in predicting future cash flows. Examples of earnings in the wild market are Street earnings and non-GAAP earnings. Following the trends of using non-GAAP earnings, it is a good way to let the free market to create an efficient corporate financial reporting even there are
