Back in the middle of the year a host of Liberal-loving economists crowed about the economy firing on all cylinders.  Anyone who actually read the Statscan reports knew that was nonsense, with GDP growth indeed very constrained to real estate and a few resource sectors, especially recovering oil+gas.

The trade of the day back when the loonie was $0.82/USD was to convert those Canadian dollars and buy US equities, such as Caterpillar, Amazon MSFT, J+J etc.  The only downside to having made these profits is the capital gains taxes to be paid.  However, somebody has to fund the deficit spending of  the Liberal government.
