Two Surprising Canadian Stocks and What Canada’s New Fund Could Buy
In this episode, Simon and Dan answer listener questions covering Canada’s new sovereign wealth fund, speculative space ETFs, real economy stocks, and how younger investors can get started. They start by discussing where the new Canada Strong Fund could potentially invest, including critical minerals, uranium, energy infrastructure, pipelines, and companies tied to national sovereignty. They also look at why a West-to-East pipeline could become a much bigger political and economic issue as Canada thinks more seriously about energy security. The conversation then shifts to the new Canadian-listed space ETF, the risks of niche thematic funds, and why space investing remains a high-risk, high-reward area. Simon and Dan also compare the recent strength in technology and semiconductor stocks with more traditional “real economy” companies like railways, waste collection, infrastructure, and industrial businesses. They wrap up by discussing some of the most surprising Canadian stock performers of 2026, including Aritzia and Bombardier, before answering a listener question on how young Canadians can start investing using accounts like the FHSA and TFSA, as well as broad-based ETF options. Tickers of stocks discussed: CCO, NMG, TECK, MDA, SOBO, ENB, TRP, ORBX, RKLB, PL, ASTS, TOY, CLS, CP, WCN, QQQ, SPY, DIA, RSP, L, BDGI, BRK.B, ATZ, LULU, NKE, BBD.B, ZEQT, XEQT, VEQT, FGRO, FEQT, XIU Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

Alberta’s New Pipeline Deal, Inflation Returns & Chip Stocks Go Parabolic
In this episode, Simon and Daniel break down the growing macro risks facing Canada and the U.S., starting with the recent oil shock and what it could mean for inflation, consumer spending, and central bank policy. They discuss why Canada’s energy infrastructure is back in focus, including potential federal support for a new Alberta-to-West Coast pipeline, the bigger debate around a West-to-East pipeline, and why energy security could become a much larger political and economic issue. They also look at the latest U.S. CPI and PPI data, the relationship between producer prices and future inflation, and how central banks may respond if higher energy prices start flowing through the economy. The conversation then shifts to the sharp rally in semiconductor stocks, massive AI-related capex from the mega-cap tech companies, and whether markets are starting to show signs of excess. The episode wraps up with a discussion on privatizing Canadian infrastructure assets like airports and ports, rising U.S. Treasury yields, Canadian consumer debt, and why the current economy feels increasingly K-shaped.

Franco-Nevada, TMX and Loblaws: Canada’s Quiet Compounders Deliver
In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we start with the latest U.S. inflation data and why higher energy prices could complicate the rate-cut narrative for markets. We also revisit GameStop’s rejected proposal for eBay and break down why Ryan Cohen’s compensation structure may help explain the push for a bold acquisition. We then look at a strong quarter from TMX Group, including the rebound in Canadian capital markets activity and its planned acquisitions of Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia. We also discuss Thomson Reuters, where the company continues to post solid organic growth while investors debate whether AI will be a long-term tailwind or disruption risk. We finish the episode with updates on Franco-Nevada’s record quarter, Loblaws’ continued strength in Canadian grocery, Exchange Income Corporation’s momentum in aviation and aerospace, and a brief look at GoEasy’s latest results following its recent credit issues.

Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies
In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down Greg Abel’s first Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting as CEO and what it says about the future of the company after Warren Buffett. They discuss Berkshire’s nearly $400 billion cash pile, whether it is a sign of excessive caution or disciplined capital allocation, and why patience can look like a mistake when markets keep moving higher. They also look at Berkshire’s insurance business, BNSF Railway, energy exposure, AI-related power demand, stock buybacks, and why the conglomerate structure still matters. In the second half of the episode, Simon and Dan shift to private markets and the growing interest in companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Perplexity, and other pre-IPO businesses. They explain how platforms like EquityZen and Forge Global work, the risks of buying private company shares, and why access alone does not necessarily mean a good investment opportunity. They also discuss accredited investor rules in Canada and the U.S., whether those rules actually protect investors, and why wealth is a poor substitute for financial sophistication.

Carney’s Big Pivot: Jobs, Energy, Housing & Major Projects
In this episode, Simon and Daniel Foch break down the latest Canadian employment numbers, including rising unemployment, pressure on youth employment, and the growing divide between full-time and part-time work. They also discuss what Canada’s spring economic update could mean for housing, infrastructure, critical minerals, energy, and the federal government’s push to speed up major project approvals. Simon and Daniel look at whether Canada could be better positioned than many investors think in a world of geopolitical uncertainty, energy shocks, and shifting global supply chains. They also touch on the Bank of Canada’s latest monetary policy outlook, the impact of higher oil prices, why railways could benefit from elevated fuel costs, and what Berkshire Hathaway’s massive cash position says about patience, liquidity, and investing in uncertain markets.

GameStop’s Wild eBay Bid, Shopify’s AI Question, and Google’s Monster Quarter
In this episode, we break down one of the strangest acquisition stories in recent memory: GameStop’s proposed bid for eBay and the unanswered questions around how the deal would actually be financed. We also look at Shopify’s earnings, where the headline numbers looked strong but the stock sold off sharply as investors focused on guidance, valuation, and whether AI will be a tailwind or a threat. From there, we discuss Alphabet’s monster quarter, including explosive growth in Google Cloud, soaring backlog, and why the company’s AI infrastructure spending is starting to show up in the numbers. We then turn to Canadian markets with updates on Suncor, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, and Toromont. Suncor is benefiting from higher oil prices and record production, CPKC is showing operating improvements despite a softer macro backdrop, and Toromont delivered a standout quarter helped by unexpected AI-related demand through its AVL acquisition.

10 Costly Mistakes Canadian Investors Make
In this episode, Simon and Dan break down 10 common mistakes Canadian investors make, from treating the TFSA like a basic savings account to overconcentrating in Canadian stocks and real estate. They discuss why home-country bias can quietly increase portfolio risk, when CDRs and Canadian-listed U.S. ETFs may or may not make sense, and how withholding taxes, currency conversion, and account type can affect returns. They also dig into the psychology of chasing yield, the danger of focusing too much on dividends instead of total returns, and why high-fee funds should be judged on performance net of fees rather than fees alone. The episode wraps with a look at analyst price targets, investor pitch decks, and why relying too heavily on management presentations can lead investors to miss major red flags. Tickers of Stocks Discussed: V, RY, AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, SHOP, CLS, CSU, FTS, VFV, VOO, BCE, MSTR, MSTY, ZLB, XIC, GSY, LSPD, WEED, CM. Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

Real Estate M&A, Sticky Inflation, and Canada’s $25B Gamble
In this episode, Simon Belanger joins Daniel Foch for a live macro discussion covering some of the biggest stories in Canada and the U.S. They start with Real Brokerage’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX, breaking down the deal structure, why RE/MAX shares are trading below the headline offer price, and what the market may be signalling about dilution and the real estate industry. They also discuss Canada’s new Canada Strong Fund, whether it really qualifies as a sovereign wealth fund, and the risks of governments trying to balance commercial returns with politically strategic investments. The conversation touches on government-backed investments in strategic industries, comparisons with U.S. policy under Trump, and the challenge of measuring success when national interest and market returns may eventually conflict. The episode wraps up with a look at the latest Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve decisions, the risk of sticky inflation from higher energy prices, the possibility of stagflation, and why both central banks may be stuck in wait-and-see mode until the data gives them a clearer path forward.
