On October 26, the federal cabinet was sworn in at Rideau Hall. There was a lot of people named to cabinet for the first time and ministers were moved to other departments.
One of the major changes was the naming of Steven Guilbeault was named the new minister of Environment in Climate Change. Steven Guilbeault is best known as his role as an environmental activist.
The former minister of Environment and Climate Change, Jonathan Wilkinson, was moved to Natural Resources.
This is viewed by some as Canada making climate change even more a priority. What happened this summer in British Columbia was an eye opener for many people.
In British Columbia this summer, residents experienced a large amount of wildfires combined with a heat dome. A small community in British Columbia, Lytton, set a new temperature record in Canada at 49.6°C one day and next day burned to the ground in a very short amount of time. A heat dome is a prolonged heat wave in which the temperatures do not cool down at night. The heat dome also affected Alberta.
The price of goods has increased drastically. This is due to government spending during the COVID19 pandemic and the current global shipping backlog. The global shipping backlog was brought on by the pandemic. During the lockdowns across the globe, entire plants and factories were shut down.
Some of the major things going on with the world will effect the stock market going forward.
