Canada country watch
Exposure to Canada means watching the Bank of Canada and the loonie, US trade disputes over lumber, steel, autos and dairy, Ottawa's energy and foreign-investment reviews, rail and port strikes at Vancouver and Montreal, and the oil sands, mining, banking and agrifood groups that drive exports. We read the Globe and Mail, the Financial Post, La Presse, CBC and BNN Bloomberg every morning.
