With a 90 percent US rate hike probability and the real prospect of a declining currency and increasing pressure on dividend stocks,  Canadian equities in general may be the worse place to park your money for the balance of 2017.  Easy to see.  What's more difficult to understand is Governor Poloz's continued reliance on rate accommodation.  Given all the Canadian angst about US trade,  we are willing to accept lower productivity and declining purchasing power (standard of living) in order to stay competitive.  Canada is burning the economic candle at both ends right now and,  as you hear in Washington more and more,  its going to end badly.
