- Holdings that showed strong fundamentals throughout this year’s volatility—e.g., Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, Loblaws, Dollarama, and more
- Canadian real estate recap—e.g., Choice Properties and Granite REIT
- How we approach assessing big C-suite changes (CN Rail, Suncor, Bank of Nova Scotia)
- Major themes the team is thinking about for 2023
