Q: Re Pegi and Peg here in Canada - it appears they are a US based company listed here in Canada - the 2015 and 2016 "dividends" were considered non-taxable return of capital for US tax purposes (per info from the company website). Would you or any reader know what the tax treatment would be for Canadian tax purposes of a US ROC distribution?

Q: CXR has lots of headwinds (brexit, pricing environment, debt levels, questions about their business model, etc). if debt level is one of the biggest headwinds the company faces, and current cash flow will take years to pay down debt, is it possible the company issues shares, even at this really reduced price, to pay down debt?

Q: Hello, I was looking at entering a position in Terra Nitrogen Co (TNH) which produces nitrogen fertilizer products. It has a pretty good dividend and seems to be very undervalued. Also it seems to excel across most metrics (ROIC, ROA, etc).

A few reservations is that the gross margin is slowly decreasing over the past 5 years and that it is a master limited partnership. Is this different tax wise if I buy this through my RRSP account?

I already hold Agrium and wanted to also get into TNH for the dividend and valuation.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
