Q: Good afternoon,

I know there has been much angst here with Telus. And your responses in recent months have been very well thought out and helpful (rates; competitive/regulatory environment). I have a 2% weight in BCE, 1% weight in T. So not massive by any means. But the slow steady drip downwards in price is getting frustrating, and now seeing the price today lower than where it was in the depths of COVID in March 2020 is concerning. At what point do I just take the 1% in T and add to BCE?

The news release is very hard for me to decipher. Can you explain this in layman's terms and whether this is good or bad for today's valuation?

Q: Hi guys,

With the pending deal of AQN to sell there stake to the PE company, do you think they will just let the company plod along with the high dividend OR would they take steps to improve its overall business to increase share price? In other words what will be the mandate of the takeover company?

Ok thanks
