THIS WEEK’S NOTES & QUOTES - News and Opinions Worth Repeating

Canada returns to pre-pandemic employment levels

Canada has recovered all of the roughly three million jobs lost to COVID-19.

The country’s economy added 157,100 jobs in September, returning the labor market to pre-pandemic levels, Statistics
Canada said Friday in Ottawa. That compares with economists’ expectation of 60,000 new jobs, according to the median
estimate in a Bloomberg survey.

The unemployment rate fell to 6.9 per cent from 7.1 per cent in August. Hours worked were up 1.1 per cent in the
month but remain 1.5 per cent below their pre-pandemic level.

Payrolls growth in U.S. misses big for a second straight month

U.S. job growth in September was the slowest this year, signaling a tempering of the labor market recovery and
complicating a potential decision by the Federal Reserve to begin scaling back monetary support before year end.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 194,000 last month after an upwardly revised 366,000 gain in August, a Labor Department
report showed Friday. The unemployment rate fell to 4.8 per cent, partly reflecting a decline in labor force participation
among women. Meantime, average hourly earnings jumped.

Canadian oil exports to U.S. jump with expanded Line 3 pipeline

Canadian oil shipments to the U.S. jumped to the highest volume since the start of the year thanks in part to the startup
of a long-delayed Canadian pipeline.

Weekly oil deliveries from America’s northern neighbor reached 4.04 million barrels day, the most since January,
according to the Energy Information Administration. It’s only the third time the U.S. has imported more than 4 million
barrels a day of Canadian crude since the agency began compiling weekly data in 2010.

Why investors should rent, not own, market segments

Conventional wisdom says the steeper the yield curve, the stronger the economic outlook. On the flip side, the curve
was inverted two years ago, and flashed warnings of an impending recession.

It’s not unusual for pundits to look to the bond market for signs of the economy’s future direction. But it appears bond
traders at the shorter end of the curve today are more concerned about United States Federal Reserve tightening and

rate hikes than those at the longer end, who have been buying any yield spikes, not willing to transition out of this risk-
off asset yet.

As a result, the spread between the five- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries has narrowed to just 100 basis points, compared to
almost 170 basis points back in March. It is also interesting that the front end of the curve is as flat as a board, with zero
spread between the one-, three- and six-month yields.

Whistleblower says Facebook put profit before reining in hate speech

A Facebook Inc whistleblower on Sunday accused the social media giant of repeatedly prioritizing profit over clamping
down on hate speech and misinformation, and said her lawyers have filed at least eight complaints with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Frances Haugen, who worked as a product manager on the civic misinformation team at Facebook, appeared on Sunday
on the CBS television program “60 Minutes,” revealing her identity as the whistleblower who provided the documents
that underpinned a Wall Street Journal investigation and a Senate hearing on Instagram’s harm to teen girls.

Renting out U.S. property sparks tax perils on both sides of the border

After the 2008 American housing market meltdown, buying U.S. property became an intriguing option. Tanking real
estate values let Canadians buy affordable vacation homes in Arizona and Florida. And, they created opportunities for
investors to buy undervalued rental properties in states like Texas, North Carolina and Georgia, where above-average
job markets or large student populations fed rental demand. Some smart investors even picked up bargain-priced
Manhattan co-ops from battered Wall Streeters.

First Drive: 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

After a 30-year absence, Jeep is once again swinging for the fences with this premium priced, full-size SUV

Well, Dad is spinning in his grave again. The man loved only one car in his life — his beloved 1931 DeSoto roadster that
he drove as a teenager — but he had enormous respect for the Jeep brand (generally) and the Wagoneer (specifically).
He owned at least four during the 1960s and ’70s, not to mention the two-door Cherokee (SJ) that occupied my parents’
driveway during the early ’80s. I got my driver’s licence behind the wheel of the 1966 model, which was his favourite.

portfolio or composite returns. The performance information presented in this report is based on a hypothetical model
portfolio, and is intended to help illustrate the general performance of the investment strategy while removing the
variability that results from implementation at a particular client level. The model portfolio reflects the actual investment
recommendations (buys, sells) of the strategy as they were communicated historically; however, a number of
implementation assumptions (which may include but are not limited to the timing and diligence with which the portfolio
is rebalanced, the execution price for securities transactions, and any trading and account related costs, fees, or
commissions) have been made when calculating the model returns that may be difficult or impossible for any investor to
exactly replicate the model portfolio. For this reason, there is no expectation that the model returns will perfectly replicate
the actual performance of any client following the same guided portfolio strategy. Specifically, the following assumptions
have been made when calculating model portfolio returns: the portfolio is rebalanced monthly and any time a change to
portfolio holdings is made; market close prices are used for all valuations; and returns are gross of all account fees and
transaction costs. Insurance products are offered through RBC Wealth Management Financial Services Inc. (“RBC
