         <title>HOW DO SUPPLY AND DEMAND WORK TOGETHER?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This particular video provides an analogy of supply and demand.  The analogy used in this video is set in 1120 A.D. when individuals used horses to travel from destination to destination. It described demand as the logical conclusion that these individuals needed a more efficient method of travel. It described supply as the lack of knowledge and material to fulfill that demand. </div><div>Understanding how both of these laws relate to each other is integral in understanding how the economy flows. The video allowed for the definition of supply and demand to be explained in a thorough and simple fashion. Since this topic can be very complex and difficult to understand, we knew it was important to choose a video that would explain the different functions of each law in understandable terms.</div>]]></description>

         <title>WHAT IS THE LAW OF SUPPLY?</title>
         <author>madelyn_clarke</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this video, the law of supply is explored in a variety of different formats. This includes the definition of supply, the law of supply, changes in quantity vs. changes in supply, and the determinants of supply. The narrator within the video uses a chart to explain the direct relationship between price and quantity supplied - as the line is steadily increasing at an equal rate throughout the chart, it is easy to understand how the law of supply works and how it relates to that of changes in quantity. </div><div>We chose this particular video to explain the law of supply because it allowed for a visual and mathematical representation of what the law of supply looks like, as well as how it reacts to fluctuations in price and quantity. The video also explains the determinants of supply, being subsidies and taxes, technology, related goods prices, resource costs, the expectations of future producers of future prices, and the current size of the market. Understanding how supply is affected by these factors allows for a deeper understanding of the topic. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>EXCEPTIONS TO THE LAW OF SUPPLY:</title>
         <author>madelyn_clarke</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/madelyn_clarke/ief2tu3fedjz/wish/418651094</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this brief video the narrator outlines the exceptions to the law of supply. These are products that do not perfectly follow the law , where in some cases the price has no relation to the supply at all. These products consist of agricultural goods, and perishable goods. The supply of agricultural goods depends on the weather conditions when the weather is good more product can be produced but when the weather does not permit agricultural growth less product is produced. Similar to agricultural goods the supply of perishable goods does not depend on the rise and fall of the price, these products have a shorter shelf life, sellers will be willing to sell more even when prices fall because they can not store the products very long. One more exception that is explained in the video is the expectations of future prices. Sellers may predict the rise and fall of prices and based on their  those predictions, choose amount of supply they want  produce to either prevent higher loss or gain more. Understanding the exceptions to the law helps to have a better understanding of the law and how it applies to everyday life.</div><div> We decided to choose this video because It is important to understand that economics is never just black and white, there are always exceptions, somethings that don’t quite follow the rules perfectly. By understanding these exceptions we as consumers are able to see how economics are at work in the market -place. This understanding can lead to us being more conscious consumers in the future. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>FACTORS AFFECTING SUPPLY:</title>
         <author>madelyn_clarke</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/madelyn_clarke/ief2tu3fedjz/wish/418651780</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This video discusses the following effects on the supply chain; profit, price, input pricing, technology, competitive supply, joint supply, expectation of future prices, weather and number of producers. Some of these effects can be recognized as exceptions to the law of supply such as <em>“expectation of future prices” and weather, </em>which are discussed in the last video. However, most are factors that help determine supply of any product as ur world continues to change. Each Factor is explained with an easy to understand example with corresponding visuals. The visuals show a product example and what the supply of that product may look like after each factor has been applied. </div><div> We chose this video because it clearly outlines a list of factors that can affect supply. There are a variety of different products sold in many different markets and each market will have the same overall factors with effects on supply but it's what's within those factors that differ based on the market. Every effect can be applied to each market which is pretty interesting almost as if there is a formal with many possible outcomes.. Knowing what effects supply can help us better understand the Law of Supply and how it is shown in the marketplace everyday.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>HOW DOES SUPPLY AFFECT US IN OUR DAILY LIVES?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This website summarizes the purpose of the law of supply within the context of everyday life (ie. “how does supply affect me personally?”). Not only does the website explain how the law of supply affects the selling price of products/goods, but it also explains how supply affects stocks and bonds within the market.</div><div>We chose this website because it was thorough and relatable. It clearly defines the premise of how supply works in an individual’s life. Many people do not even know that they encounter this factor of economics every day in the form of sold out goods, low prices, and overstocked items in the grocery store. Beyond the basic everyday life, the website also goes into detail on how the law of supply affects the rise and fall of stock prices. From this website, we learn that stock prices are affected by both supply AND demand, and that without demand, the supply of shares depletes. When investors buy into this portion of the economy, it is vital for them to understand the basic function of how this system works, as well as their specific role in its successful flow. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>LAW OF SUPPLY IN CANADIAN HEALTHCARE:</title>
         <author>madelyn_clarke</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/madelyn_clarke/ief2tu3fedjz/wish/418653457</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article outlines the key issues when it comes to supply and demand within the Canadian healthcare system. Canada has a high demand for medical services, as shown through long wait times and frustrated patients who are not receiving the care they need due to the “lack of” healthcare professionals. However, there truly is a large supply of medical school  graduates qualified and looking for a job. So why does the surplus of supply not meet the every so needy demand? This article discusses a failed Canadian healthcare market system, and ways to solve it. Number one on the list is to turn Canada’s healthcare system into a free market system similar to many other countries around the world. </div><div>We chose this article because it is very relevant to our present day lives especially as Canadians. Many Canadians believe that this idea of a free market system would be a terrible idea. We love our free healthcare and we are known for it, but how well is our current system working. Even emerge has a wait time, it is a never ending cycle and there's always someone who needs immediate attention over another. It is difficult to decide what the right method is, but looking at it through an economic perspective can help to outline the biggest issue; supply does not meet the demand. Of course there are many other factors involved as the government controls this market but their must be a solution. Issues as such are not looked at through an economic perspective by the average person, but understanding the law of supply and how it pertains to this issue can be helpful in finding your stance on the topic. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>WAGES IN THE LAW OF SUPPLY:</title>
         <author>madelyn_clarke</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/madelyn_clarke/ief2tu3fedjz/wish/418654286</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article written for TheRecord.com discuss the relevance of supply and demand in regards to the 30 percent increase to minimum wage in Canada as of the beginning of last year. The author loosely accuses Canadian Government Officials of irony by calling employers bullies by simply following the law of supply. As minimum wage increases employers begin to reduce the number of employees to save on cost of labour, or maintain the same level of service by in return decreasing employee benefits. The author writes about their misunderstanding, for government frustration with the employers as they were just following economic laws of supply and demand.</div><div> We chose this webpage as it is a great example of how economics reveal themselves in our everyday lives. Again we don't always analyze the issues economically, so when it is brought to our attention in articles such as these it forces us to remember what we already know about the law of supply and demand and continue to apply to the topic at hand. This helps us have a deeper understanding of how the law of supply is at work behind the scenes when we are not paying attention.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Cannabis Demand and Supply</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This website provides information regarding the supply and demand of Cannabis in Canada, since the recent <em>Cannabis Act</em>. The purpose of the information in the site is to allow for the Government of Canada to track legal and illegal Cannabis - ensuring that legal cannabis does not infiltrate the illegal market and vice versa. </div><div>We chose this particular website because it allowed for a unique and modern perception on what supply and demand means in today’s market, specifically in Canada. Provided in the website is a chart that compares the total spend on cannabis per year (2015-2019). From this chart, we can infer that since the demand for legalized cannabis became so intense, the supply was then released. Since the initiation of the <em>Cannabis Act</em>, the supply has increased tremendously - resulting in a high of 1.5 million dollars being spent on Cannabis in the fourth quarter of 2018. This website has put the definition of supply and demand into a completely new perspective - one that is relatable to every person in Canada today, whether they realize it or not.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This photo was used in a New York Times article in which the supply of legalized marijuana in Canada fell short only three weeks after it’s legalization. The outcome of this situation caused the excited consumers to, once again, have to return to the illegal marijunana market to purchase. In this example, the demand for cannabis was extremely high, causing the supply to fail to keep up. This caused a shortage, which meant angry customers. This did, however, also cause an uprising of jobs in the marijuana production market.</div><div>We chose this particular photo because it portrayed what supply and demand could mean to Canada today - in the context of 2019. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image was found in an article from Canadian Business, discussing a list of the “Canada’s Best Jobs 2018”. Under this image it was stated that A head nurse and medical supervisor would be one of the best jobs to have in the year 2018. This is not only due to the median $83,000 salary, but due to the Career opportunity, the author stated that there is expected to be a balanced number of jobs to those who are looking in this field by 2023. This would mean that the supply of jobs in this field and the demand for these jobs is expected to be at equilibrium come 2023.</div><div>This image (when you look into the meaning behind it) shows a direct connection to the law of supply and provides a good example of the supply curve at equilibrium in real life example.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The law of supply can be seen in our everyday life and not only through economics (at least it may not always be seen economically). Economics run our world weather we pay attention to it or not and if you understand the law of supply and how it relates to demand you can apply it almost every situation you come across. For example; if you are setting the table for Christmas dinner and you have 10 dinner guests but only 5 table napkins your supply does not meet your demand; you need more napkins. As silly of an example as is, it is just one of many different ways economics can be applied to basic everyday life.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It's easier to understand the law of supply in a sense of production of a product, but is also applies to a service. It is interesting to know that if a Dentist is gaining business it can depend on a number of factors.If one Dentist has closed due to renovations, the other dentist in town attracts more business because the supply of dentistry has decreased and is thus in higher demand. Now this dentist who has attracted new business, would choose to raise his prices for cleaning because it is in higher demand and people will pay for the service because it is needed. However, he could also choose to drop his prices in anticipation of the other dentist raising his price after renovations to keep his new customers. This simplistic example demonstrates both supply and demand in how they may relate to as service instead of a physical product. This is interesting because it briefly demonstrates how  the law of supply is like a cycle that never stops and directly relates to the law of demand which circulate and depend on one another to exist.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Economics, as a complex and interrelated system, is always changing. That is what makes it such a constant factor of our developing world. The most important thing to remember about economics, in regards to the law of supply, would be that supply and demand become a cycle - one supporting the other - and without it, the economy would fail. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure that the economy is always healthy - meaning our inflation and employment rates should be balanced, and our gross domestic product growth rate is sustainable. Once we are sustainable, we have the opportunity to grow and become increasingly stronger in the future.</div>]]></description>
