Re: The close: TSX falls as oil resumes slide

Harper was one powerful guy. He was able to affect the whole world's economy. Too bad we replaced such a powerful man with such a wimp and a loser. Speaking of which, how come Justine hasn't fixed it yet? Certainly some more selfies should do the trick.

A selfie riding a solar power jack lump like a rodeo bronco will attract people like Soros who has never heard of Canada.

Sadly, I don't think you are being sarcastic.
Aw come on, tell me you're joking.

Of course he is. The sadness falls on buttfloss who posts on topics he is completely clueless on.

If the topic were "droppin' and trippin'" we'd have PhD level of knowledge coming from between his ears.

Ya well I've so many posts that are easy misunderstand here that I like to check before I assume something negative about someone.
Or I guess I could do what you do and say something trollishly stupid.

Re: The close: TSX falls as oil resumes slide

Why do we make excuses for people like Harper and blame others for the
policies carried out by a variety of illusionists including Harper.
Harper screwed the middle class in this country he screwed vets and a
whole lot of others that were not big oil and resources and in the end the
people came together and screwed him. I am not totally happy with Justin
but he is a damn sight better than Harper ever was.

Thanks Harper.


The close: TSX falls as oil resumes slide

A renewed drop in oil prices due to worries about a global supply glut on Monday hurt North American and European stock markets and weighed on the dollar following a rebound in those sectors late last week.

Anxiety about the drag from tumbling energy prices on global economic growth and central bank policies revived safe-haven demand for the yen, gold and U.S. government debt.

Crude oil prices fell more than 5 per cent as Iraq announced record-high oil production feeding into a heavily oversupplied market, wiping out much of the gains made in one of the biggest-ever daily rallies last Friday.

“The news that Iraq has probably hit another record builds on the oversupply sentiment,” said Hans van Cleef, senior energy economist at ABN Amro in Amsterdam.

Declines in energy prices, as well as a slumping economy, have driven consumer confidence in Canada to a record low. Data showed the Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index measuring optimism on personal finance, job security, housing and the economy fell to 52.3 from 53 a week earlier.

On Monday, the Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index fell 246.4 points, or 1.99 per cent, to 12,143.42. Eight of the index’s 10 main sectors declined, led by an 5-per-cent drop by energy stocks.

Suncor Energy Inc declined 4.4 per cent and Canadian Natural Resources fell 4.5 per cent. Penn West Petroleum Ltd was down 10 per cent.

Financial stocks in the S&P/TSX index lost 1.7 per cent. Tricon Capital Group Inc. and Genworth MI Canada Inc. led declines, erasing at least 4.3 per cent. The group has lost almost 7 per cent since the start of the year.

Royal Bank of Canada fell 3.3 per cent, and Toronto-Dominion Bank declined 2.9 per cent. Insurer Manulife Financial Corp lost 2.7 per cent.

We should have subsidized manufacturing 1200% like the Chines are doing. Would have scraped health care but at least we would have jobs.

Wtg Harper. Scraping health care to subsidize manufacturing would have been so much better!!! Duh

How was the middle class screwed and it was Martin who cut long term vet bennys. Who got screwed that wasn't resources? Those who were bailed out in 08? I doubt any other PM has dumped more into BC since the CPR first hit the coast.

You'd have to change your name to Canuck if you did that. It was so obviously sarcastic that I felt purple was not required.
