I checked StatsCan after this. Foreign direct investment into Canada reached 96.8 billion dollars in 2025. Highest since 2007. It lines up with investors chasing calm while U.S. layoffs hit 92,000 in a month and tariffs bite consumers. Stability really pulls the cash.

For investors, the the most respected company in the Oil industry is CNQ. The most respected company in the global oil industry. Not the most talked about, not the most recognized, not the biggest. The most profitable, respected, and well run company. As far as dividends and internal management, there may be no better ‘listed’ company on planet earth, more representative of returning money to investors. So in times of war (oil wars) - money flows into this holding.
Now, gold is also something long forgotten, the new price of which altered Canadas balance of trade I’m 2025, substantially.
Let’s see, what else does Canada do very very well. How about pension plans. Well run pension plans have been pulling in their horns from US exposure since Trump won in November 24. The world has been following their lead.
Finally, political wind. The bad wind that had become the western model of stool politics, has only one leg left to stand on. One party that won’t exit the stage when the wind changed direction. That bad smell is the Conservative Party leader. He and his party do not yet recognize that if the world defeats MAGA - the Conservative Party era is through. The last thing we can afford is unchecked profiteering of the earths last remaining natural benefits.
A warning for what it’s worth. Intellect in the Milky Way is on the verge of being stillborn. Action in this regard is failing all four corners of global leadership. Ours included.
Who pays the tariff was confusing to me too. I always thought that the companies exporting the items paid tariffs so they would raise the cost of their export to cover tariff costs. The companies importing the items would pass on the extra costs to the consumer. Either way, it negatively affects us all. Too much too soon.

Apparently a judge has ordered them to start paying back the tariffs. I believe Netflix is another, Costco too just sued as well. We’ll see.
