Q: Further to Andrew's question re EIF, I attended their annual meeting in Winnipeg this morning. Part of the earning miss is that the company serviced 12 aircraft over the winter, when business is slower, rather than space the work throughout the year. This impacted the last quarter's earnings, but the company predicts earnings will improve in the next two quarters.

Q: Hi Team,
I believe the short interest in Shopify is now about 4.77% of the US float. Do you have any guidance on when the short interest can become large enough that the stock could become the victim of a short attack? I also know that SHOP has a fair bit of cash on hand and no debt, which may help protect it. Any thoughts you have about how a short interest in SHOP, or more generally any company, might become debilitating for a stock's price would be appreciated.
Thank you, Michael

Q: Hello Peter,

Can you provide your thoughts on SLF latest earnings? Do you see the US weakness as something the company can manage through or is it time to make a switch to another insurer? Ideally, I would like to add to my position in this 2nd quarter in a row of weakness with the long term view of higher interest rates.

Thanks for all the great work and advice,
Angelo
