Q: The earnings call hasn't taken place yet but TFII's earnings appear to be a bust. They missed all important metrics, some by quite a bit. After the call, can you comment on this and does management have a good response to the weak quarter. In your response to the initial question, you gave numbers but little commentary. How bad would you rate the results? Can you assess the future? Has the lustre left the room? TFII has been a great performer the past 10 years but I'm starting to question the future.

Q: Hi, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on TFI Re-Domiciling to the US. How does this benefit the company? As a shareholder in the company will this impact my investment? Will a withholding tax now apply? Will they continue to be listed on the TSX after this move? Is this decision possibly related to tariff threats? Can you see other Canadian companies with significant US business following this route?

Q: Thanks for answering my previous question on WEF (western forest products). I have been taking a closer look at wef and trying to decide if I should liquidate my smallish position. One thing I noticed is that WEF has nearly $300 million 'on deposit' with the USA government. This is for the softwood lumber tariffs that they have had to pay over various years. This is a unique situation but what does it mean to be 'on deposit". Does any of this money ever get returned to a Canadian lumber producer? If not, then why does WEF even mention it? I found out about this in a WEF press release and I made a perfunctory search of the balance sheet and I could not find anything, although I am certainly not any expert navigating balance sheets. Does it appear on the balance sheet but I just missed it? Is this a complete non-issue or is it a hidden source of future revenue for WEF?

Q: I have this company in my long term RRSP account thanks to 5i. I was wondering your thoughts on journaling this over to the USD side in my rrsp account and what benefits/downside could come from this for exchange or currency exposure? The div is paid in USD and my drip is turned on the idea would be if new shares were not bought that USD cash would slowly grow in the account.

Q: Relate to my earlier question on BCE, to fund a single lot buy of GOOG after selling BCE, to fund the gap I need to trim or sell one or some of my existing USD holdings: BN, BAM, BEP, BIPC, BIP, SHOP, VGT, PLTR, ICLN, PRMB. I like them all. What order would YOU consider in selling/trimming? Most have some tax implications due to lengthy holding periods.

Q: Hello, I hope all keeping well.

When reading through QUESTIONS (and answers) , I often wonder if the companies mentioned are in your model PORTFOLIOS?

Is there a way that the companies mentioned could have some form of "marker" to indicate that they are indeed on your model lists?

For me, seeing that marker would be very helpful.

All the very best
