Q: Your opinions on CCL.B please. The quarter looked weak and CCL has contributed little to my portfolio over the last few years although I am sitting on a sizeable-gain in both my TFSA and RRSP accounts. Your recommendation going forward please and suggestion on a company with more growth regardless of sector.
Thank you

Q: A comment on Shirley of this morning regarding tax forms (T3, T4, T5, LP tax forms..etc.), now all of these can be downloaded directly from Revenue Canada website directly to your tax filing program. The only issue is that you have to wait until all of them are received by RCA which is usually around first week of April.

Q: The valuations on companies with a favourable ESG component are lofty at best. Do you see any in this sector that are still reasonably priced? A dividend would be preferable.
Thanks for your consideration.

Q: Just a comment about a previous question regarding increased cost for Reit's for insurance, cost are going up and whether increased rents will cover these increases could effect the bottom line. Below is an excerpt of a condo in BC.

The president of another Lower Mainland strata council is speaking out after getting served with a sky-high hike to his building’s insurance.
Mike Pauls lives in a year-old 26-storey building on Gladwin Road in Abbotsford — a structure so new, it doesn’t even show up in Google Street View.
In 2019, the building paid a $66,000 premium through insurance broker BFL. Last month, the strata council got its bill for 2020: A whopping 780 per cent increase to a premium of $588,000.
“Our jaws kind of dropped to the floor,” said Pauls.

Q: In reply to Brian's question regarding Bep.un and the form they send for income tax. I do my own tax. I received the tax form from my broker and they send them now by e-mail , the numbers and even the box number was so blurred I could not read it. It was a long form with many boxes, even the box number I could not read. So I phoned the broker and he couldnt even read his copy, he had to go elsewhere to get them. It also come very late in April with not much time to finish my tax. I just sold Bep.un so I wouldnt have to go through that again, but by that time I still got to do it all over the next year!! If you use a tax preparer then that would be their problem. FYI.
