Q: Nice acquisition today by TFII and a good move in the stock. TFII seems to have perfected the art of the acquisition and integrating into operations. I believe TFII is the largest trucking company in Canada. How do they rate compared to US firms? Is there a possibility that TFII might be in the sights of a big US firm? Could they be on the receiving end of takeover bid?

Q: I am concerned about the US political situation. Should Trump manage to win the upcoming election and the US loses its democracy, I fear that this will not be good for the financial markets. Do you know what the results were in other countries that elected far right political parties? I have a sizable portfolio that is almost 50% weighted to the US. I would like to know how to prepare for this possibility short of selling all our US investments. Thank you

Q: Christmas Greetings 5i Team!
I've owned Parkland Fuel for about 10 years now, and lately the stock's done very well. With the new EV sales mandates announced by the Federal gov't, would you continue to own a company whose main business is gas stations and fuel distribution? I'm thinking most people who can afford EV's are also likely to own a single-family homes and will charge at home. Of course, there is also the possibility that these sales mandates will be scrapped with a change in gov't in two years' time. Is it best to sell now, wait to see what happens in the next election, or continue to hold long term?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: What is your dividend and share price growth opinion on these 2 over the next 12 months? It seems that their primary revenue source is selling data which provides limited growth. They seem to have lost out on the content distribution sector and I don't see new growth areas for them. Where do you think their growth will come from? I currently hold both (which is not good) and am considering selling both. I had originally invested for share price growth and dividends.
