  1. Trump is already looking like an economic disaster with his fiscally irresponsible cabinet picks.

    I am just hoping we don’t have a Bush-like disaster now that republicans are back in charge. Recall, historically republicans are the worst of the two parties when it comes to debt and jobs.

  2. What scares me most about President-elect is that he has no interest in how government works. None at all. I haven’t felt this nervous since Bush, Jr.

  3. 2008 meets 2017.

  4. I too have predicted the loonie is going to fall some more. Oil is going to be taking more abuse this new year.

  5. On the bright side Trump will reinstate oil pipeline between our two countries. Not good for the environment but good for us investors in crude oil.

  6. No way BoC cuts rates even more. Way too much in 2016.

  7. There will be more than just a few stocks that suffer. More like industries.
