November Market Insights: Wealth In A Capex Supercycle
Wealth is the product of energy times intelligence: energy channeled into artifacts that enhance human life. American visionary Buckminster Fuller’s idea hints at a fire that powers value itself. As Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan warned, the tools we build can also build us. Our tools don’t merely enable prosperity; they reshape society. With artificial intelligence (AI) dominance now tied to national security and economic growth, policy moves—like U.S. President Donald Trump’s supply-side measures and 100 per cent expensing of capital expenditures (CapEx) through 2031—set the stage for a CapEx supercycle.

October Market Insights: Trump, Carney and the Western Awakening
A new era for Canada is about to begin.
“I read in a newspaper that I was to be received with all the honors customarily rendered to a foreign ruler. I am grateful for the honors; but something within me rebelled at that word ‘foreign’. I say this because when I have been in Canada, I have never heard a Canadian refer to an American as a ‘foreigner’. He is just an ‘American’.

That simple little distinction illustrates to me better than anything else the relationship between our two countries.”

June Market Insights: The New Nexus of Power
For decades, the American establishment clung to the gospel of globalization, open markets, cheap goods, and the promise of shared prosperity. Yet beneath the surface, this grand experiment hollowed out the nation’s industrial heartland, eroded economic security, and fueled a populist backlash that upended politics from Ohio to Washington. The opioid crisis, the decay of small towns, and the anger of those left behind are not mysterious—they are the predictable fallout of an economic order designed by and for elites, insulated from the consequences of their own policies.
