Canadian factory PMI rises to four-year high as domestic activity drives demand

Index tracking Canada’s manufacturing activity rose for the seventh straight month

www.theglobeandmail.com

Canada’s manufacturing sector expanded in July at the fastest pace in more than four years as rising domestic activity boosted production and new orders, but weak international demand raised doubt over the sustainability of the increase.
The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) edged up to 53.5 last month from 53.0 in June. It marked the seventh straight month that the index was at or above the 50 threshold and the highest reading since June, 2022.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.
“PMI data for July painted a positive picture of current growth, with output and new orders both rising at faster rates on the back of firmer domestic demand,” Paul Smith, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said in a statement.
“Companies were suitably encouraged to take on additional workers, raising their staffing levels to bolster capacity and help support current workloads.”

Domestic demand driving up canadian manufacturing. Wonder if the canada wide free trade is starting to bear fruit?

There's a chance it's a short term 'dead cat bounce', resulting from the whole elbows up thing, that might decline in the longer term due to unresolved structural issues within the Canadian economy, viz:

Posthaste: Fixing Canada's productivity problem could cost a 'staggering' $7.6 trillion​

Economist says tackling this challenge will take a scale of investment, saving, and structural adjustment that the country has not mustered in decades

Decades of underinvestment have resulted in Canada’s stock of capital per worker (buildings, machinery and intellectual property used in production) falling severely behind its advanced nation peers, said St-Arnaud, who is now chief economist at Servus Credit Union.

How bad is it? Here are a few sobering statistics:

• The stock of capital per worker of the OECD’s 10 most productive countries is 50 per cent higher than in Canada on average. At the top end, Switzerland’s is 118 per cent higher than Canada’s.
• Since the oil bust of 2015 Canada’s stock of capital per worker has increased just 0.2 per cent a year on average, compared to 1.2 per cent in the more productive countries.
• The result is that these countries’ productivity is 37 per cent higher than Canada’s and their GDP per capita is 31 per cent higher on average.

To catch up to the productivity level of these nations, Canada’s stock of capital needs to grow by up to 5.4 per cent per year over the next decade which would require an investment of $7.6 trillion.

Nanos shows similar, if the CPC drop below 30% that would be a disaster for the party

For reference to the discussion.,

The latest tracking places Liberal ballot support at 47.1%, compared with 27.9% for the Conservatives and 12.7% for the NDP.

How low can it go? If an election were held today it would be a blood bath with these numbers

In previous hearings, the Liberal GoC lawyers argued that the evidence used in the decisions to enact these bans were covered by Cabinet confidence and not subject to examination.

And that is precisely why I can't vote for the LPC.

Government lawyers - who are being paid by the taxpayers & citizenry - insist that the very legislation discussed/negotiated/passed on behalf of those same citizens (by the very politicians that same citizenry elected!) is somehow not subject to examination by that same citizenry...

Yes, also takes some restraint though.

Trudeau would have seen 15 percent higher revenue and spent 15 percent higher revenue.

Why do you feel that Trudeau would have seen higher revenue?

Sorry, what is the difference between Canadian English and British English??

 

[Retired AF Guy]

Never mind. Did a AI search with the following question:

What is the difference between Canadian English and British English?
Answer:

Canadian English is a unique dialect that blends British spelling conventions with American vocabulary and pronunciation influences. While both varieties share historical roots, they diverge significantly in accent, word choice, and specific grammatical preferences.

Spelling and Grammar: Canadians typically retain British spellings like colour, centre, and theatre, but often adopt American verb spellings ending in -ize (e.g., realize vs. realise). Grammatically, Canadian English tends to treat collective nouns as singular (e.g., "the team is"), aligning with American usage, whereas British English frequently uses plural verbs (e.g., "the team are").

Vocabulary: Canadians generally use American terms for everyday objects, such as apartment (instead of flat), cookie (instead of biscuit), and elevator (instead of lift). However, they also utilize distinct Canadianisms like toque (knitted hat) and washroom (restroom).

Pronunciation: The most notable difference is Canadian Raising, where the "ou" sound in words like about is pronounced higher, sounding closer to "a-boat" to British ears. Additionally, Canadians pronounce the "t" in words like water as a soft "d" sound, similar to American English, while British speakers often use a clear "t" or a glottal stop.

This is the difference between the LPC and CPC.

When Trudeau was facing these lows, he was kicked out for someone more popular.

CPC...nah, this is FINE.

Trudeau was PM, controlling the executive and legislative functions of government.

We all know you hate PP, but let's try to keep things in the correct context when making comparisons.

Soooo...does this make it easier or harder to give him the boot?

Nah, this is about keeping leaders accountable for the performance of their party.

The LPC want to win. The CPC wants to keep their attack dog.

That you're even asking indicates this discussion is pointless.

Enjoy your echo chamber.
