Q: Did you see Jeff Tonkin's interview with Amber on BNN today? I love the straight shooting, no nonsense way that Jeff Tonkin does interviews. Unfortunately I don't hold any Birchcliff because I have a lot of TOU and ARX. Looks like TOU is going to continue with special Divies but ARX dividend isn't as juicy. If nat gas prices stay in the $3 to $4 range I don't think that nat gas shares prices are going to move substantially so should I concentrate on dividends instead? If so would you recommend swapping out ARX for BIR? Tonkin sounds very committed to the new dividend and their debt free status gives Tonkin the backing to commit to a juicy dividend.

Q: These 3 equities are part of 13 in an income oriented portfolio. SLF is the only financial. If it were you, would you sell one of the Telco.s and purchase a bank? In a word, where would you want to tilt, do you believe the better return lies with financials or with Telco.s. If one is to be sold, which Telco would you let go?

Q: Hi, I’m curious and very intrigued as to how an AQN takeover might happen. Could it be bought whole and if so who has the resources to pull this off? I’m thinking Brookfield/ BEPC or perhaps another Private Equity company like KKR? Or could it be sold off in parts perhaps renewables to a NPI or Brookfield and the Power Gen/Transmission/Water to a Fortis? Thanks in advance.

Q: Peter, I have a question that may sound stupid but here goes. Trudeau and Biden have said there is no future in a carbon economy and have promised to shut down oil and gas as soon as possible. What then does the future hold for Pembina , Enbridge, Trans Canada ????? I would think that with no product or much less product there future is not good either. Many analyts are promoting Nutrien as they say the world needs more food, yet our leaders are going to cut our food production by limiting fertiliser use. I was a farmer for 40 years in Alberta and grew enough Barley Wheat Canola and beef cattle to feed thousands of people a year. This would not have happened without the nutrients to grow it. If all of these things are taken away please tell me what is left to invest in??? Banks?? Thank you Ken
