This website explains different reasons, aspects and forms of a financial crisis. The first part is how different Canadian industries can be affected differently by variables that occur within their specific industry.

We found this website was overall helpful because it explains many aspects of a financial crisis. From determining factors, history of recessions, responses from businesses and the difference between a recession and a depression.

The 4 categories are: Credit-to-GDP gap, Debt Service Ratio (DSR), Household DSR and Cross-border claims to GDP.

One thing that is useful with this website is that it can show Canadians the unfortunate realization that a financial crisis could be coming in the near future. Comparing Canada to other countries is also helpful to find root causes and solutions.

This video elaborates on how Canada for many years had substantial economic growth but is vastly slowing down. In fact it has stayed at 4% for a long time and is on its way to dropping to 2% and is expected to stay at 1.7%. This means that incomes won't rise as fast and therefore tax revenues will diminish. This will continue to cause a domino like effect destroying government spending budgets which will deteriorate the room to put money towards national debt removal. These issues will eventually contribute to the already high risk of Canada's financial crisis.

This video is useful because anyone who could one day start questioning why there tax return is low, or why they can't seem to get raises anymore; would now be able to think back and remember that the economic growth is the cause of it and therefore they would be able to look into it more.

This video speaks on financial crises in a national sense, focusing on Canada's national debt and the factor that we are at risk of becoming involved in a financial crisis within the next decade. Professor James Barth of Auburn University, goes into depth about why Canada is becoming a concern to the BIS (Bank for International Settlements). Canada is becoming a concern to the BIS due to it's debt related to GDP which is affecting the economy. He mentions that debt isn't bad and people having debt to pay off helps the economy but when that debt to GDP ratio surpasses 80%-100% countries can encounter a banking or general financial crisis.

This video was useful in a sense that it explains to any citizen watching how they can help the economy and contribute to the prevention of a national financial crisis.

The first part of this website explains that all Canadian debt that is outside of financial institutions is 9.4% higher than the usual annual average. Canadians are in to much debt within the Canadian economy. A percentage that is higher than 10% is a red flag for a crisis. The Bank of Canada is working on policies to help vulnerable Canadians ease and help reduce their debt.

This website is useful because some people may not understand the terminology that is used when it comes to money and debt, so therefore having pictures, charts and graphs is essential in helping Canadians physically see the problems that we are facing.
