Both the stock markets of Canada and the USA had a major correction since the new year. The Canadian Dollar was 93 cents of a U.S. Dollar 15 months ago. Yesterday,it was at 69 cents. The Alberta Provincial Government has used up its 5 billion dollar surplus in 2015 and oil royalties are down about 70%. How has it affected you?

There are large job losses in Canada especially around the oil sands area. I have heard my boss talk about a neighbor who is selling his house, his boat and new car and looking for work after losing his job in the oil industry. Have you seen the same in Texas, North Dakota or elsewhere were there was an oil boom until recently? We could buy oil from Canada instead of countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia that execute people like we eat cookies.. Let us hope the next administration works with Canada to lay the ground work for approving a pipeline since prices will eventually go up once most oil companies shut down production and prices stabilitze. In the meantime, human suffering in the energy sector and this will affect car dealerships, real estate markets and the general economy. What are your thoughts?
