Anyone have any feelings on what they think is going to happen in Canada over the next year.
Energy looks like it will continue to do well, manufacturing looks like it's going to get hurt.
I'm interested in what you see happening anywhere in the Canadian market. |

Well, I think our economies are strongly linked so, it's lookin like inflation and rising energy costs will probably drive up minimum wage which will kick businesses in the teeth and vicious cycle toward a stumbling economy begins, hopefully I'll be wrong.
This was my 1000th post whheeeeeeewwww, yeahh.  |

| jjsinmn, Canada's major stock market is the toronto stock exchange (http://www.tsx.com). There are some nice Canadian companies listed on this exchange that I would love to invest in. |

A couple more sites you can check out and see if they work for you. www.tsx.com is the toronto stock exchange site and also I have found that the stockhouse site good for both canadian and Us equity information go to www.stockhouse.ca
Post if anyone knows any other sites that they like to use, thanks for the responses everyone. |

Ballard Power (BLDP...I own this one) is a Canadian company that has great potential in the fuel cell market. Oil sand/shale developement, with the price of oil, will be a strong investment opportunity.  |
