Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Great blog regarding Tim Hortons / Burger King. Very informative and well written.

At this point in time what companies would comprise your top five growth names (in order of conviction) for inclusion into an TFSA Account ??? Holding period of a minimum of 3-5 years and they would be added to complement slower growing, "safer" holdings. (i.e. BAM.A, BNS, CGX, etc.)
Thank you very much. DL

Q: Dollarama was downgraded by Neil Linsdell with a 12-month target price of $95.00. Do you think the growth story is still intact? Also, with all the M&A activity surrounding Family Dollar, why hasn't there been much, if any, reaction in Dollarama? Usually there is a bump in share price when there is news of consolidation in a sector.

Q: Peter:
some time ago (months), you listed your favourite companies in class. I believe that MDA and T were among them. Could I ask you to list these again, whether or not they have changed?

Thank-you.
