In this episode, we break down what the recent Canadian federal election results mean for investors. With Mark Carney becoming Prime Minister, we discuss the implications of continued large-scale fiscal spending, including projections that federal deficits will remain above 2% of GDP. We look at how this could act as a tailwind for certain sectors and how it will likely lead to a trade deal between Canada and the US.
On the earnings side, we discuss TFI International, where acquisition-driven growth masks some deeper margin pressure and macro headwinds. We also provide an update on First Quantum and the continued importance of the Cobre Panama mine for both its business and Franco-Nevada's streaming exposure. Lastly, we share thoughts on Starbucks' ongoing turnaround, recent earnings miss, and whether there's a compelling case to be made for patient investors during its transformation.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down a whirlwind week of headlines that continue to move markets. We start with the latest from the Trump administration, where the president announced plans to reduce the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods—though no specifics were given and he made it clear the rate won’t be going to zero. Markets also reacted sharply to speculation that Trump might replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, only for him to later walk back those comments, stating Powell would remain in his role until the end of his term.
We then dive into Tesla’s earnings, where the company posted a 9% year-over-year revenue decline and a 40% drop in EPS, with falling deliveries and razor-thin margins putting pressure on the stock—despite a surprising post-earnings rally.
We also cover American Express, which delivered solid numbers driven by younger cardholders, and remains resilient thanks to its premium card base and growing fee revenue. Over at BlackRock, inflows hit $84 billion for the quarter. Finally, we take a look at West Fraser Timber’s results amid increasing trade uncertainty, highlighting the company’s strong balance sheet and the challenges ahead for Canadian wood product exporters.

In this episode, we cover the Bank of Canada’s latest rate decision, where policymakers held steady at 2.75% despite growing calls for a cut. We break down their two-scenario framework as they weigh inflation risks against the looming threat of a trade war-induced recession.
We then turn to Nvidia, which announced a $5.5 billion charge tied to new U.S. export restrictions on its H20 chips to China—a move that could significantly dent its China business. We also dig into ASML’s latest earnings, where strong AI-driven demand continues to offset rising geopolitical risks and tariff uncertainty.
Next, we unpack the drama surrounding Well Health’s delayed financials, revenue restatement due to Circle Medical billing practices, and how that’s impacting investor confidence despite a year of solid operational growth.
Lastly, we discuss JPMorgan’s Q1 results and Jamie Dimon’s increasingly cautious tone. With rising provisions for credit losses and talk of earnings downgrades across the S&P 500, we explore what this might signal for markets in the months ahead.

We kick off this episode with a deep dive into the latest U.S. tariff announcements. Braden shares his candid thoughts on the rationale (or lack thereof) behind these so-called “reciprocal” tariffs, including how the formula used is fundamentally flawed, and why some of the moves feel more like political theater than economic strategy.
We also unpack the unintended consequences of targeting key low-cost manufacturing partners outside of China, and how this could backfire on American businesses.
In the second half, Simon goes through 10 companies on his watchlist as recent drawdowns have opened up some compelling long-term opportunities.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down a chaotic week in the markets dominated by volatility, misinformation, and tariff uncertainty. We start with a bizarre moment on Truth Social where former President Trump shared a video falsely claiming Warren Buffett endorsed his tariff policies—a claim quickly debunked by Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway.
We then turn to the wild swings in the U.S. markets, including a dramatic intraday reversal driven by conflicting rumors around tariff delays. On the earnings front, we look at two American companies that reported earnings after liberation day and how the tariffs may impact their businesses.
We also discuss how Dollarama continues to outperform expectations, showing strong growth and resilience in a challenging environment. We wrap up with a discussion on how earnings revisions and valuation multiples could create a “double whammy” for investors, with lower earnings and lower investor confidence both weighing on equity markets.

In this episode, we discuss the “reciprocal” tariffs announced by President Trump. The tariffs were far greater than expected which led to the major north american indices shedding 10% and in some instances more in just 2 days.
We go over the methodology behind the new tariff regime and how Canada and Mexico were exempt, and the immediate impact on global markets. We walk through the selloff in equities, rising credit spreads, and the companies most affected—particularly those dependent on global manufacturing like Apple, Nike, and Lululemon.
We also explore the broader implications of this abrupt shift in trade policy: the risk of escalating retaliation, the potential for a global recession, and how investors can think about navigating uncertainty. Finally, we discuss the importance of discipline during volatile markets and why a systematic approach to investing may be more valuable than ever.
