excited for 2026?

I always believed that Trump will patiently wait for the USMCA to expire if needed. And knows that Canada will be in desperate needs by that time. As much as the 51st State suggestion might seem like a jeer there's truth to everyone joke. Northern Ontario's mineral wealth is immense, with the Ring of Fire region alone estimated to hold $60 billion or more in nickel, copper, chromite, and Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), crucial for clean energy. And this is a rough estimate. Personally, the Canadian Government should work with the U.s. and put their feelings aside or else things aren't going be fixed here in Canada anytime soon espeiclally not in 6 months when USMCA expires. We in Canada overall will be in detrimental economical problems. When things like the Housing Market in Brampton, ON had major corruption occurring the bubble is ready to break.



3rd World Mentalities Never helped Canada overall.

 

Interesting thought for sure what does the future hold its like betting on a horse winning a race what are the odds? World economies run at a far different pace then say your local store, everyone was predicting gloom and doom in 2025 that year has come and gone, with the S& P 500 hitting a high early in February 2025 of 6147 falling around 19 % by April only to come back strong and hit 6945 by the end of December some 12 % above the February high and a 18 % gain over 12 months. That is considered a strong year by economic standards. One only has to look at what happened following Covid - 19 pandemic in 2020 that really looked bad yet what did the overall markets do? From the low of 2191 in late March 2020 to the all time high of 4818 by January 2022 before the US reserve started lifting interest rates the S& P rose some 119 %. The 12 % gain since the low of April 2025 is evidence that large investors are still willing to put money into the US stock market something they would not do if they had concerns.
