It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

I feel Canadians keep projecting comments like this out of spike because of issues with standard of living and declining competitiveness yet the TSX has consistently done better than much of the world. Canadas equity market is predominantly ologopolies in financial and telecom sectors with fat margins due to limited competition and then the energy and resource sector Our competitiveness and standard of living issues have little to no correlation with our stock market For the record i dont support the idea of forcing funds to invest more here tho

Pension money should be focused on where it gives Canadians the highest return. Full stop !

I disagree. By forcing pensions to invest more in Canada, we can raise GDP which raises tax revenue. You should keep in mind that your pension is only one part of what supports you in retirement. Tax revenues cover healthcare and many other things. But I will say that I don’t trust the Trudeau liberals to implement such a change without creating all kinds of unnecessary red tape.

@@red149 Excessive regulation and red tape is indeed a serious problem in Canada, and it has gotten worse under Trudeau. But you should consider that when Canada competes for foreign investment, we are competing with many countries that have very poor environmental standards and little to no social safety net. Our tax rates would be much lower if we abolished the welfare state, and businesses could be much more profitable if there were no environmental standards to uphold. The fact that a Canadian pension fund may get a higher return from investing in a country like India does not necessarily mean that we should try to emulate what they do to their natural environment, and it does not mean that we should reduce our healthcare and welfare support to their level. Canadian pensioners benefit immensely from the welfare state, including healthcare, as well as old age security. Another point I would make is if Canadian pension funds had a greater stake in the profitability of Canadian businesses, I think that would improve the social license for corporate profits. We might hear less nonsense from the populist left (esp. NDP) about the evils of corporate profits if the benefits of those profits were more widely shared. That could lead to more business friendly policy making.

@@red149 I’m obviously more concerned about inequality than you are. But that’s fine, reasonable people can disagree. I would argue the real Ponzi scheme is the real estate market in Canada, which allows homeowners to walk away with millions of dollars in capital gains totally tax-free, while work and business investment continues to be taxed more. Why invest in a business if you can make more money simply owning a house? If the government had any courage and really was concerned about millennials and generation Z, they would eliminate the capital gains exemption on primary residences, rather than hiking the capital gains inclusion on business investment. The extra revenue could be used to cut income taxes. And I would also caution against the myth of an idyllic past that never really was.

Government red tape, high taxation, and lack of continuity between the provinces will continue to have Canada underperform.

I only invest in MURICA and decentralized things.

Actually, the app you are probably referring to was the ArriveCan app developed by CG Industries. They charged the Liberals $19 million for that app. There was another IT company in Canada that recreated that app over a weekend and said the maximum price for it should have been $1 million. So yes we have companies that can develop apps at a reasonable cost. The Liberals procurement people just don't know who to contact and contract out to.

The last thing I want is Ottawa making financial decisions with my money. They do such a great job with the money they already take. Crooks!

If we had a competent government...one that didn't squander resources, constantly spend beyond means, pay themselves through their scams while taxing Canadians into infinity, then it would be a profitable investment. The resources are there, but that's where it ends.

Actually, the resource sectors look good. We are probably heading into a commodity boom. The problem in Canada is the time it takes to get anything done. To fully permit a mine in Canada takes 10-12 years? Should be streamlined to 1-2 years. Fossil fuels are in demand. Many Canadian oil companies are sitting on 20-year reserves. Costs of production in CDN$ selling product in US$. Canada is now the 4th largest world oil exporting country. Canada has the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world. We should be starting a second pipeline to BC tidewater now as things take so long to get done in Canada. No, we do not want the federal govt to do it! We want private investors to do it. Encourage more oil exploration off the coast of Nfld & Lab. Develop LNG in Quebec and New Brunswick. Manufacturing is coming back to Ontario under the Ford Conservatives. Manufacturers could not get out of Ontario fast enough under the McGindy /Wynne Liberals. You just need a government in Canada that cuts red tape /bureaucracy in getting things done in Canada. Have a sieze the day attitude.

Amazingly, money doesn't naturally flow to high taxation, high regulation, and falling productivity. The government is far more interested in gay/trans rights, the environment, and special interest groups than they are in the economy. Those issues are important, but a continual weakening of our economic base and balance sheet has taken a large toll on the country.

Canada could have more major investments in natural gas. The coastal gas link pipeline has been completed. The LNG plant is being completed. That is a $40 billion project. The largest $ project in Canada's history! The Chancellor of Germany came to Canada looking for natural gas. Trudeau was not interested? Canada has deposits of natural gas in Quebec and New Brunswick that could be developed for LNG export of natural gas. The Chancellor of Germany then went to Qatar and signed a $100 billion /15-year contract with Qatar. Canada could have had that contract. Perhaps Mr Trudeau is unaware that the EU has now classified natural gas and nuclear energy as green energy? The Premier of Alberta goes to the USA to promote Canadian oil. There were no bids from major oil companies for parcels of exploration fields offshore Nfld& Lab. What is the federal government doing to promote Canadian fossil fuels? We do have a minister of resources in Canada, don't we?. Canada has the 3rd largest world oil reserves and lots of natural gas. So what do the Trudeau liberals do? Pass legislation that Canadian oil companies must take downstream emissions into account for exports of Canadian oil other oil-producing countries in the world consider downstream emissions?

Pension plan managers should make good investment decisions without any political interference. Forcing Can-con would send a message that it's an undesirable place to invest. Save drastic action for times when the ship is actually sinking. We have great companies, but it's a small market: Constellation Software, WSP Global, CP Rail, Alimentation Couche Tard, Cameco, Dollarama, Waste Connections

Canadian companies strive for mediocrity relative to all developed countries. These names were huge at one time - Corel, Nortel, BlackBerry/RIM, Canada ARM, C-Series, Avro Arrow … to name a few. And was squandered away… we grow our wealth through real estate, legalization of weed and lotto 649 / gambling. The little manufacturing that we did have was sent to china, Mexico etc in name of “free trade” agreements such as NAFTA et etc. trade is good only when it benefits both parties. Canada is a great country. But I feel it’s starting to rot at its core. We will not see it coming until it will hit like freight train.

Actually, you are seeing a resurgence of manufacturers locating /investing in Ontario under the Ford Conservative govt. During the McGuinty/Wynne Liberal governments manufacturers were fleeing Ontario.

In a managed market economy all aspects are controlled by the government ergo this legislation will get pushed through

Less Government restrictions and fast track permits

Our country still has a bad culture of "don't get too big for your britches, what are you an American?" and an attitude that we should rather have one or two monopolies that ensure the provision of services rather than competition that drives innovation. There are so many opportunities that are going to be available to us in the next 100 years and if we got dumb governments and this Scotsman's attitude about investing to die, we'd actually be able to get some traction.

Ya we all pay into the pension fund u could take that money and invest it to give people more money in retirement

There is no such thing as public money; there is only taxpayers' money.🤭 83% jabbed Canadian population won't use their pension fund.😏

The pension managers will invest in profitable companies. If Canada had more profitable companies, there would be more investment in Canada. This is our retirement fund we're talking about. It isn't going to invest in start-ups and high risk ventures within Canada just because they are Canadian. If government passes legislation to allow them to guide where retirement funds have to invest, that is some horrible banana republic level decision making. Act like a banana republic, become a banana republic.
