Feedback
FREE-FOR-ALL
As always,
readers had a lot
to say about Eric
Reguly’s column
(“Backdraft”).
For the most part,
they agreed that free-trade deals are
eliminating working-class jobs and
undermining quality of life. If you’re
a wage earner in a developed country,
you’re screwed. If you’re already
wealthy and can exploit the situation,
you’re dreaming in technicolour,
wrote one. Another chimed in with:
Trouble is, as Big Biz gets rich, they
want to be Filthy Rich, Insanely Rich,
Tax Avoid Rich. They want the last
dime. They want to fire the last guy. A
minority of commenters pointed to
the benefits of open trade borders:
Try pricing your clothing, groceries,
tools, mowers, chainsaws, electronics,
automobiles, etc. strictly on a “Made
in Canada or the U.S. by Canadians or
Americans” basis and watch inflation
soar, consumption slump, and material
quality of life deteriorate.
THE REAL ESTATE BLAME GAME
In last month’s Interview, UBC
social geographer David Ley
talked about the vested interests
behind soaring real estate prices
in Vancouver. The piece sparked a
flurry of comments. The real estate
situation in B.C. and Ontario is a crying
shame and the blame lies solely at the
feet of government regulators, the
banks and real estate vested interests,
wrote one reader. While we blame
other countries for assisting money
launderers, we close our eyes to those
on our own back lawns. A business
owner had this to say: Our firm is
having a very difficult time retaining
young talent as they cannot afford to
live here. If the B.C. gov’t thinks there is
an economic benefit to this—they are
missing the fact that it is leading to the
hollowing out of industry. So what’s
the solution? One reader offered
this up: Your best bet is to leave these
cities and have a meaningful life in
smaller communities where a home
will not make you eat Kraft Dinner
every night.
VICE VERSUS
It’s safe to say that Vice Media CEO
Shane Smith did not like Maryam
Sanati’s story, “Shane Smith will
take your money now.” Though he
refused an interview with Sanati,
Smith did get into a bit of a Twitter
spat with Report on Business
editor Derek DeCloet, after the
latter tweeted: For once, a story
about @shanesmith30 that’s not a
hagiography. Why Vice is overhyped.
Smith’s reply: good reporting? Check
the language v the facts. Simple bias.
I’ve been w VICE for 22 years and hit
by the best. Which you aren’t. Ouch.

A
Copyright rebel Cory Doctorow says he’s defending both creators and users
from lock-happy entertainment conglomerates
s a Toronto
teenager, Cory
Doctorow
spent many
happy afterschool hours at the Spaced Out
Library, the science-fiction
collection founded and run by
the writer and socialist Judith
Merril. “I would take the subway
down there,” he recalls. “She
got me to join a writing group
that still meets and, with her
encouragement, I started sending
out my own stories.” Doctorow
was first published at age 17.
Now 44, living in Los Angeles,
Doctorow has become a prolific,
award-winning author and also
an activist, taking the values he
absorbed in those salad days
forward into a world where at
least some of what was in the
fiction he loved as a boy has
become fact. “Science-fiction
writers aren’t great predictors of
the future, but sometimes they
get a few things right.”
In gadfly mode, Doctorow
uses his talks at all the right
conferences to sting the
corporations and governments
that are, in his view, ruining
the Web. “At this recent South
by Southwest, everyone was
worried about the Internet of
Things and privacy, with rectal
thermometers, cars, pacemakers
sending your highly personal
information out there.” When the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
honoured Doctorow with an
award for his activism, they also
bestowed upon him the red cloak
and goggles that a fictionalized

version of himself sports in the
web-comic xkcd as he flies about
saying penetrating things.
Doctorow doesn’t put out the
anti-establishment word just at
confabs and among his 400,000plus Twitter followers. Boing
Boing, the website he helps run,
is one of the Net’s most bully
pulpits. On the analog side,
he supplies trenchant essays
and reportage to legacy-media
outlets like The New York Times
and Wired. And, perhaps most
important, he has the ear of
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a.k.a. the
Internet’s benevolent dictator.
He doesn’t always have the
last word with Berners-Lee,
though. “I was surprised and
disappointed that he recently
announced that W3C was going
to start standardizing DRM. …
There is a sense among a lot of
people that the Web is cooked.”
W3C is the World Wide Web
Consortium, which BernersLee runs, and Doctorow is
upset because it’s setting up
a standardized regime for
digital rights management, or
DRM—the locks that tech and
entertainment companies put
on their products—to prevent
people from sharing their wares.
Doctorow criticizes American
and Canadian legislation that
makes it an offence to tamper
with these locks. After all,
analog publishers can’t control
what use purchasers make
1. Netflix, a company
that relies heavily
on DRM, anticipated
spending $5 billion
(U.S.) on programming
this year.
2. As part of a
$1.6-billion (U.S.)
upgrade in April,
Universal opened a
Harry Potter ride on its
L.A. lot, after paying
an undisclosed rights
fee to Warner Bros.

content for the BBC.
of their books. And the locks
seldom help the creatives who
originally produced the content.
(1) In joking homage to Isaac
Asimov’s laws of robotics,
Doctorow has his own law: “Any
time someone puts a lock on
something that belongs to you
and won’t give you the key, that
lock isn’t there for your benefit.”
“Old copyright rules aren’t
suited to the Web,” he says.
“The Internet is a copying
machine. Almost every time I
click my mouse [and load a Web
page], a thousand potentially
copyrighted works are copied
inside my computer.”
He cites a case where
entertainment conglomerate
Universal pushed YouTube to
take down a video a mother
posted of her baby dancing to
Let’s Go Crazy by Prince (RIP).
Doctorow is proud that the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
helped win an appeals-court
victory in the case. “It’s one
thing when an entertainment
company is negotiating with
Harry Potter’s publisher for the
right to do a Harry Potter ride
at a theme park. (2) It’s another
when there’s some teen in her
basement in Calgary, writing and
posting Harry Potter fan-fic.”
Unlike many new-age
copyright theorists, Doctorow
has had a chance to practise
what he preaches, giving away
his own books free online
while selling the print rights to
conventional publishers. These
days, his books garner mid-sixfigure advances, including an
adult novel, Walkaway, that is
coming out next year. (“I just
got a blurb for it from Edward
Snowden.”)
Doctorow’s writerly business
model has been both successful
and controversial—controversial
because, the argument goes,
those who give their work away
for free lower the going rate
for writing and undermine
the institutions that pay for it.
(When Doctorow criticized
The New York Times for putting
up a paywall, a media critic
sardonically pointed out that it
was not Boing Boing that, at the
time, had reporters imprisoned
in the Middle East.)
But Doctorow says creatives
have to adjust their approach to
the new era. It’s no good, he says,
“shaking your fist and telling the
Internet to get off your lawn.”
Doctorow says musicians,
filmmakers and writers have
to start thinking of themselves
as dandelions, not mammals.
“When my daughter was on the
way to being born (3), I realized
how much effort mammals put
into reproduction,” he says. “But
dandelions send their seeds out
everywhere. They don’t worry
that every single one succeeds,
but instead that every crack in
the sidewalk is filled.” /Alec Scott

Golden years
The Bank of Canada began actively reducing its stockpile of 400-ounce gold bars—each slightly smaller
than a brick—in 1980. In February, it sold off 620 kilograms, effectively reducing our gold reserves to zero.
It now stockpiles only about two kilos of the shiny metal, worth roughly $130,000. /Steve Brearton

“The government has a long-standing
policy of diversifying its portfolio
by selling physical commodities
(such as gold) and instead investing
in financial assets that are
easily tradable and that have deep
markets of buyers and sellers.”

“[Gold] gets dug out of the ground in
Africa, or someplace. Then we melt
it down, dig another hole, bury it
again and pay people to stand around
guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone
watching from Mars would

Venture
and the venture enjoyed several early
years of triple-digit revenue growth followed by a few more years that were also
pretty solid. By 2015 the company, called
Indochino, was still booking 40% annual
growth and vied for status as the continent’s top online retailer of made-tomeasure menswear.
At that point, Vucko might have been
expected to do one of two things. He
could have followed Gani’s lead and
headed for the exit, or he could have continued down the corporate path, by then
well-paved. What he wouldn’t have been
expected to do is hang on to his stake
while turning Indochino over to someone he’d just hired, so that he could leave
the Vancouver head office to semi-retire
with his wife (Amelia Warren, who runs
a start-up of her own) back in Victoria.
“It was the right time for me to catch
some family time after a decade of going
full tilt,” Vucko explains.
Of course, kicking back is that much
sweeter if the guy you’ve hired as your
replacement is a fellow e-commerce pioneer, who, six months and a couple of dramatic moves later, can say he’s got Indochino back onto its triple-digit growth
trajectory. The new CEO, recent Torontonian Drew Green, had made a couple
of exits himself and still holds a stake in
Shop.ca, which he founded. Within weeks
of arriving, he announced a deal that saw
China-based Dayang Group invest $42
million while becoming a manufacturing
partner. “It was an opportunity to put in
a large amount of capital and accelerate
the business,” he explains.

n 2007, while still at the University of Victoria, Kyle Vucko and
Heikal Gani came up with a great idea for a tech company—
online, made-to-measure suits. Everyone seemed to love the idea,
even though launching an e-commerce site is a thousand times
harder than it looks, and matching picky customers with their
perfectly fitted suits, delivered on time and at a profit, is maybe
a thousand times harder than that. And there was also the small detail that
neither of the college kids had experience in e-commerce or fashion.
Nevertheless, hometown heroes including ex-Yahoo head Jeff Mallett,
basketballer Steve Nash and emerging VC phenom Boris Wertz pitched in
to help Vucko and Gani get $18 million in financing. The two, meanwhile,
spent way longer in China sniffing out supply lines than they would have
thought possible. Still, almost everything went better than it should have,

LESS WORK, MORE PLAY
Ah, Sweden. It has always ranked as one of the happiest nations in the
world. And now some Swedish companies are switching to a six-hour
workday—the theory being that compressed hours boost both productivity
and happiness. Here’s a look at average work hours per year in 20 OECD
countries, plus their rank on the latest World Happiness Report.
Hours worked in Germany are down
from 2,372 in 1950. During the
economic crisis, the government
pushed for employers to reduce work
hours rather than lay off employees.

showroom will do between $4 million
and $5 million a year, and we operate on a
zero-inventory model, so we don’t have
a backroom with thousands of suits.”
Instead, Indochino’s showroom customers buy their suits, shirts and ties
much as they would if shopping from the
website except that, instead of having to
measure themselves and trust that the
fabric matches the way it looks onscreen,
they get to see the goods first-hand and
let someone else do the measuring.
Either way, the suit will arrive on the
customer’s doorstep within four weeks
and cost about the same as if it had been
picked off the rack at a department or
mid-price apparel store, while, in all likelihood, requiring no alterations (reviewers tend to give the chain an A-minus in
this regard) or, heaven forbid, returns. “If
you look at apparel companies or even
department stores that have gone online,
return rates are one of the biggest challenges,” Green says. “They’re up to 30%,
whereas ours are around 2%.”
Far from cannibalizing online sales,
the storefronts act as billboards, increasing awareness, Green says. “Our online
business is seven times higher in markets where we have showrooms.” A store
in SoHo has been the star performer, so
plans are afoot to open several more in
Manhattan.
The new CEO also promises to dramatically increase the number of offerings. “I came from a business where
we had 15 million products at the time
of launch, and this business had 40. So
there was a real opportunity to broaden
the selection.” But the really big step
ahead may see Indochino opening up for
offline business on the continent where
the suits are actually made. (Online customers are already global in scope; the
home market of Canada is a sweet spot,
since Indochino prices only in U.S. dollars.) The company won’t necessarily go
into China, Green thinks, but will almost
certainly tackle Japan, where formal
work clothes are de rigueur and the currently fashionable tailored look that’s
been very good for Indochino never went
out of style. Whatever form the expansion takes, Green is sure it will involve
a partner. “We want to learn before we
open, then every day after,” he says.
Ambitious? That’s a word that definitely fits. “My goal is to sell a million
made-to-measure suits a year by 2020,”
Green says. “That would put our revenue, back of the napkin, at over half a
billion dollars.” /Jim Sutherland

Rise of the bots
They’re the software version of robots, and giants like
Facebook and Google are betting they’re the future
W
hen Google’s AlphaGo software beat champion Go
player Lee Sedol at a five-game match in March, many
compared it to the chess showdowns that pitted Garry
Kasparov against IBM’s Deep Blue back in the mid1990s (they won a match apiece). But this was different.
Go, a game that’s popular in Asia, is even more nuanced
than chess and infinitely complex, which is why beating a human opponent
had become a holy grail for computer scientists. AlphaGo’s victory wasn’t simply one step beyond Deep Blue; it proved that “smart” artificial intelligence
(AI) is no longer some far-off dream.
Over the past few months, we’ve started to get a taste of the real-world implications. Microsoft, Facebook and Google all kicked off their most recent developer
conferences with a clear message: Forget the rise of the machines—the future
is smart software, a.k.a. bots.
You’ve probably already interacted with bots, on messaging
apps like Facebook Messenger
and Kik, or by calling up Apple’s
digital assistant, Siri, on your
iPhone. As Siri has shown, bots
can be programmed to have something approaching a personality
and to engage in human-like conversations. They can also carry
out tasks like ordering a pizza or
booking a flight to New York.
Those might not be earth-shattering examples of change, but as
is often the case with digital, what
at first seems like an entertaining
trinket or marginal convenience
can bode deep structural changes
ahead. When it f irst debuted
in 2007, the iPhone was simply
a slick new smartphone, but it
sparked seismic shifts across
many businesses.
So it will be with bots, because
the AI that drives them represents a new kind of tool. Just as we
might send in a robot to defuse a
bomb, bots could be deployed to
mine and analyze the huge and
unwieldy amounts of data produced in today’s digital-first world
at a pace and scale humans simply
can’t match. They’re even starting to be able to relay qualitative
information: not just What is my
next appointment? but What are
the most promising sales trends
from the past year? AI’s capacity
to replace human actions—and do
them better—represents the next
great business upheaval.
The underlying trend here
is machine learning (a concept
demonstrated disastrously by
Microsoft’s Tay chatbot back in
March—see next page for details).
The idea is to create software that
can produce new information
and tools of its own accord—for
instance, a system that could sort
through stoplight patterns and
use what it learns to better direct
traffic, all without explicitly being
told to do so. This is already happening. IBM’s Watson AI has gone
from playing (and winning) Jeopardy to delivering treatments for
lung cancer, partly by keeping
up with and factoring in weekly
developments in oncology. Wat-

son is also helping to reintegrate
military personnel into civil
society by answering questions
about benefits and medical concerns, and doing it all in natural,
ordinary language. That’s a key
part of what makes bots so full of
potential—the fact that they can
understand human queries and
respond in kind, rather than with
complex mathematical formulas.
Now imagine this technology in
the hands (literally) of rank-andfile employees at your own company, and you start to get a sense
of how AI might change things—
and how many jobs it could render
obsolete. A sales exec could ask
her phone a simple question—say,
how oil’s effect on currency influenced sales in British Columbia
over the past three years—and
then use that information to make
better strategic decisions. Bots
offer a whole new competitive
advantage.

Cybersecurity
THE GREATEST (HACKER) STORY EVER TOLD
Mr. Robot is a TV series about an anti-social cybersecurity
engineer/vigilante hacker named Elliot Anderson, and it’s been
hailed as the most realistic depiction of hacking to ever hit
the screen. As we get ready to binge-watch Season 2, we asked
Kevvie Fowler—KPMG Canada’s National Cyber Response
Leader, whose team tests client systems for vulnerabilities and
launches simulated attacks—for a primer on five hacks from
the show and how they work in real life.
RATS AND WEBCAMS
(Episode 2)
What it is
Remote Access Trojans,
bits of malicious code
installed onto a computer,
allow hackers to control
everything from keyboards
to webcams.
Mr. Robot hack
Someone from the
Dark Army, a Chinese
hacking collective, poses
as a musician hawking free
CDs. Angela’s boyfriend,
Ollie, loads one (and the
webcam spying trojan)
onto their home computer,
giving the attacker a view
of everything within the
camera’s sight.
BRUTE-FORCE
PASSWORD HACK
(Episode 2)
What it is
Tools like John the Ripper
detect weak Linux
passwords and crack them
by making thousands of
attempts per second.
Mr. Robot hack
Elliot employs a
common dictionary word
search tactic using John
the Ripper to crack the
password of Evil Corp’s
interim chief technology
officer, Tyrell Wellick.
In real life, this would
take between 20 and 30
minutes, but it goes down
much faster in TV land.
SPYWARE
(Episode 3)
What it is
Spyware monitors a
device’s activity and reveals
anything stored in, say,
a phone’s memory or on
its SIM card. This hack is
unnervingly simple, though
it requires physical access
to the phone for about
three minutes, plus an
Internet connection.
Mr. Robot hack
Tyrell inserts a chip onto
his target’s Android phone
to give him control of the
device, then uploads the
spyware to steal his secrets.
BADGE CLONING
(Episode 5)
What it is
Devices like the Tastic RFID
Thief, a tool from Bishop
Fox, can steal securitybadge information via RFID
when it’s placed within one
metre of the target.
Mr. Robot hack
At Steel Mountain, one
of Evil Corp’s data centres,
Elliot clones an employee
badge using a gadget like
the RFID Thief, which he has
hidden in his backpack.
STEGANOGRAPHY
(Episode 9)
What it is
The art of concealing
information in plain sight,
in music or photo files.
Mr. Robot hack
Elliot keeps files on
everyone he’s hacked
on CD-ROMs disguised
as music CDs. He uses
DeepSound, an audio
converter tool, to convert
photos and other files to
WAV and FLAC audio files.
The real files are encrypted
and password-protected.

Up in smoke
—George H., Toronto
Dear George
Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all
answer to this one, so I asked Shelley Brown,
an employment law lawyer with Steinberg, Title
Hope & Israel in Toronto, for advice. “The law
requires that an employer accommodate an
employee’s disability up to the point of undue
hardship—a very high bar for employers,”
he says. “There’s an obligation to allow an
employee to do what’s necessary from a medical
standpoint to ameliorate his or her disability.”
At the same time, your toking staffer has to
provide value for money, and is obligated to tell
you the nature of the disability and how often
he needs to medicate so you can accommodate.
“If an employee needs to smoke up three or
four times a day to deal with a disability, an
employer is entitled to know that and has to
take it into account,” says Brown. “You should
be able to sit down with your employee and
discuss what the nature of the accommodation
ought to be and what may be necessary to
assist him in maintaining your work standard.”
$1 BILLION+
If the employee doesn’t co-operate, you could be
entitled to take measures including suspension
or limiting how often he can smoke.
But dealing with employee disabilities requires immense sensitivity, because they are so
individual. Brown’s bottom-line advice: “It’s a
minefield. You really should seek the advice of
a lawyer before taking any steps, whether you’re
an employer or an employee.”
Dear Corporate Governess
I’ve been handed my dream job. The trouble is,
they demoted the popular manager who held the
role before me. How do I get the team on my side?

Dear Elle
I thought I’d never watch The Daily Show after
Jon Stewart left, but Trevor Noah won me over,
one joke at a time. My point: Be patient. I’d
start with a staff meeting to introduce yourself.
And make sure the entire team is welcome. If
possible, get the former manager on board to
help with the transition. A few kind words of
endorsement might be tough to ask for, but it
could make all the difference. Give props to
your predecessor’s accomplishments, but let
the team know you have a fresh vision you want
to share. Then work on developing individual
relationships. Once they see you don’t have
two heads, they’ll soften.

of setting goals.
relationships with everyone
from former employers to
clients and suppliers. She
also wasn’t afraid to do
whatever task was required.
Both she and Piatka were
raising young children when
they started their businesses.
Today, the “mompreneur” is
a growing force and working
women are aspiring to have
a work-life balance.
To further inspire women
and support their dreams,
Piatka started an annual
women’s networking
weekend called the Ultimate
Girls Getaway. For 20 years,
the event has focused on
empowering participants
personally and professionally.
It also raises funds to sponsor
female survivors of war.
An inspiring vision
Piatka and Bennett agree
that selecting the right team
is important. “A leader is
someone who gets a vision,
can see the path ahead and
can inspire others working
with them to share the
dream,” explains Piatka, who
outsources everything from
production to marketing to
accounting. “I have always
used this philosophy because
everything the company does
is project-based.”
After Piatka develops a
recipe, scales it for production,
selects the production facility
and puts the marketing and
production together, she is
ready for the next project and
may have multiple teams
working simultaneously.
“This business model allows
me to use the best resources
in the industry without
employer responsibilities.”
Bennett does have
employees and gives
careful consideration to the
people she hires. “We want
superstars. We want to make
sure they are fun, are open
to and like change. I want
people to feel empowered
and make decisions.
Leadership comes from
believing in your people and
supporting them.”
Bennett says that the
consulting and management
services she offers has
helped set her firm apart.
Her company can do real
estate optimization strategies
and advise clients who want
to renew their lease, or
provide feedback on how to
optimize space.
“If you don’t stop moving,
they can’t catch you,” she
says. “You need to be totally
progressive and thinking what
the next big thing is.”
Piatka shares that
philosophy. Nadja Foods’
latest innovations include low
Glycemic Index (GI) foods,
and a GI Reducer that doesn’t
increase blood sugar levels
when added to white flour
bakery items.
“You can’t sit back and be a
one-hit wonder,” says Piatka.
“You have to find a hole in
the market and pursue it
with passion.”
Fostering female leaders
While women who own their own
businesses are growing in numbers,
92 per cent of top executives at
Canada’s largest companies are still
male, according to the annual report
from the Rosenzweig & Company
Inc. talent management group.
American Express Canada is
one company that is fostering and
supporting female talent. In Canada,
almost half of its senior leadership
team and 59 per cent of its Canadian
employees are women.
“We know that fostering diversity
broadens the talent pool and
ensures we have the most qualified
candidates leading our company,”
says Rob McClean, president and
CEO of American Express Canada.
“I work alongside many smart, wellrespected women whose strategic
minds and authentic leadership
have had a direct impact on the
company’s success.”
From McClean’s point of view,
more and more companies are
supporting female talent – and the
efforts are paying off.
“There are a number of outspoken
senior female leaders, such as
Sheryl Sandberg (Facebook COO)
for example, who have really moved
the dial and caused a shift towards
a culture that is more encouraging
of women taking on powerful
positions. We’re seeing this
change not only at a global level,
but within Canada and also within
financial services.”

Advancing careers
Mentors and sponsors help women achieve next-level success
A
ccording to a recent
study, leading Canadian
businesses can foster female
talent and grow ambition
among women at all levels of
their organization simply by
ensuring the proper support
channels are in place.
The new research was
commissioned by American
Express Canada and Women
of Influence, a Toronto-based
professional advancement
organization for women.
It showed that while
mentorship and sponsorship
are still incredibly rare among
female entrepreneurs and
corporate workers (only 27
per cent of respondents had
a mentor and 8 per cent a
sponsor), women who have
them are much more likely
to believe they can land a
top position.
Of the 1,200 female
respondents, 70 per cent
considered themselves to be
high-potential employees.
That number rose to 86 per
cent among women with
a mentor, and 89 per cent
with a sponsor. Similarly,
the number of women who
believed they could make it
to the C-suite (32 per cent)
increased to 49 per cent for
women with a mentor, and 60
per cent with a sponsor.
“The research shows that
women without a mentor
and/or sponsor are missing
out on key relationships with
leaders who could be guiding
their career and advocating
for their professional
advancement,” says Naomi
Titleman, vice-president of
human resources at American
Express Canada. “While
training, hard work and
determination play an integral
role in career advancement,
relationship-building is
crucial to overcoming
workplace hurdles, especially
for women.”
Defining sponsorship
While both mentorship and
sponsorship seek to improve
a person’s career by increasing
their value in business,
there are differences in
the approaches.
Mentorship is guidance
that helps employees fulfill
a role or direct careers. For
employees, a mentor can be
a sounding board; someone
who encourages an individual
to aim for a higher rank at
work. It can come from a
variety of sources inside or
outside the workplace.
Alternatively, sponsorship
can help open doors by
giving the employee an
advocate among more
senior workers. A sponsor
takes action on behalf of an
employee, with an eye for
promoting their career within
the organization.
“Women must
surround
themselves with
people who
support their
advancement.”
Since the very nature of the
relationship is that they put
their reputation on the line
for you, sponsors are difficult
to secure and easy to lose,
explains Titleman. Therefore,
she says it’s vital for women
to seek out sponsors. It’s
equally important for
organizations to open up
dialogue about sponsorship
and what it entails.
“Sponsorship has a big
impact on aspirations and
advancement,” Titleman
says. “Women must surround
themselves with people who
support their advancement
– who can offer advice,
Relationship-building
is key to overcoming
workplace hurdles,
says Naomi Titleman,
vice-president of human
resources at American
Express Canada.
encouragement, coaching,
etc. They need to work to
seek out sponsor-earning
opportunities. This means
volunteering for ‘stretch
opportunities’ that encourage
skills development,
collaborating across
teams, leading employeeengagement activities and
identifying opportunities to
showcase their good work.”
Seeking out champions
“Women define success in so
many different ways,” says
Stephania Varalli, Co-CEO
of Women of Influence. “To
support employees on their
own unique career paths and
to achieve their own version
of success, it’s crucial for
organizations to encourage
a culture of mentorship
and sponsorship.”
Although mentorship and
sponsorship are fundamental
to advancing women within
an organization, Varalli says
tapping into a larger
network of women through
events and programs can
help create strong
professional connections.
Mentorship can be
particularly important in
male-dominated fields, adds
Kelly Lyons, a professor in the
Faculty of Information at the
University of Toronto.
“Any time you’re a minority
within a community of people,
it’s nice to have mentors that
can help,” Lyons points out.
“There’s this critical mass. It’s
not conscious, but you sort of
see yourself more.”
That same principle
applies to senior ranks at
any company: if women see
themselves represented, it
sends them the message they
can get those jobs.
It’s something that
Titleman says American
Express Canada is doing
right. Today, 45 per cent of the
company’s senior leadership
team is women.
“We do feel that role
modelling is a serious part
of the equation,” she says.
Titleman believes there’s a role
for programs that encourage
mentorship and sponsorship,
but companies must make
sure they’re receptive to what
employees need.
That means creating
environments where
sponsorship and mentorship
are practiced.
“There are systemic barriers
in the workplace still today, so
we need to do everything in
our power to make sure that
we have those advocates at
the table,” Titleman says.
“Providing mentorship and
advocating on behalf of more
junior colleagues as a sponsor
is one of the most important
jobs I have. I feel that it’s my
obligation as a senior leader
to support people in reaching
their full potential.”

WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Debunking the Myths: How taking
a risk rational approach pays off
for Women entrepreneurs
Women make decisions every day that require risk
W
ith so many successful
self-employed women
thriving in Canada – 47% of
small businesses are partly
or wholly owned by women
– female entrepreneurs have
long been perceived to be
risk-averse and unable to
generate the same economic
growth as men. In reality,
businesses with majority-female ownership have report-
ed the highest instances of
yearly revenue growth of
more than 20 per cent.
In an effort to change
these misconceptions, BMO
Financial Group, Carleton
University and The Beacon
Agency partnered for an
independent study to take
a closer look at the relationship between risk and
women entrepreneurs.
The study, A Force to
Reckon With: Women,
Entrepreneurship and Risk,
revealed that this perception
is not the reality for women
entrepreneurs.
The study found that
women make decisions
every day that require risk,
in order to grow and build
their businesses. Men and
women simply approach
risk differently – in general,
women entrepreneurs take
a longer-term approach to
business and a more holistic
view of calculating riskbased decisions.
BMO has leveraged
the findings of this report
through efforts to continue
expanding support for female entrepreneurs in ways
that most resonate with the
group. In addition to the $2
billion in credit the bank has
made available to women
entrepreneurs, BMO has also
created employee training
to address findings from the
study and continue to build
stronger relationships with
women entrepreneurs.
Susan Brown, BMO Senior
Vice President, Alberta
and Northwest Territories
Division, has worked with
women entrepreneurs
throughout her decades-long
career. She believes women
are risk rational, not risk
averse. “Many of the women
that I’ve dealt with are
very risk aware, and they
manage the risk in their
businesses in a way that
matches their lives,” said
Ms. Brown. “That’s no doubt
why women engage experts
when starting a business
or considering growth, and
why they frequently take
courses on entrepreneurship
to learn how to manage risk
and run their businesses
more effectively.”
BMO is also continuing strategic partnerships
such as Women’s President
Organization, GrowYourBiz
and SheEO, which all focus
on mentorship of entrepreneurs, a key driver of success
as found in the study. Most
recently, the bank introduced the BMO Women in
Leadership Fund mutual
fund, the first of its kind in
Canada, which offers investors the opportunity to show
their support of women in
business. It has also expanded its BMO Celebrating
Women event to over eight
cities across Canada, to honour outstanding women for
their charitable giving and
overall contribution to the
communities in which they
live and work.

The self-made woman
Defining characteristics of Canada’s new female entrepreneur
S
he’s ambitious and
wants to grow her
business. She makes
decisions that require risk.
She believes in networking
and relationship-building.
She may not be a technology
expert, but she has a presence
in the digital world. Work-life
balance is important to her.
These are some of the
defining characteristics of
the new female entrepreneur
in Canada, a growing force
in the country’s economy.
In 2011, Statistics Canada
reported 950,000 selfemployed women in the
country – and that number
is increasing.
Why are so many women
starting their own businesses?
There are multiple reasons.
A new report by BMO
Financial Group, Carleton
University and The
Beacon Agency, “A Force
to Reckon With: Women,
Entrepreneurship and Risk,”
found that most women start
a business because they are
passionate about something
– not because they want to
make a million dollars.
Many women launch a
business so they can be
in control, experience
challenge, create a product
or service, and gain financial
independence. Many need
to generate an income, and
some take over their family
business to better manage
the operation.
Jayne Huhtanen is
among these women. As
a professional business
coach and member of the
Canadian Association of
Women Executives and
Entrepreneurs, she advises
and consults with many
self-employed women. Her
résumé includes 26 years

than men do, and recognize
the value of building
relationships, she adds.
“When women network with
women, they want to get to
know each other on a personal
level, and understand that
business comes through those
relationships,” Huhtanen
explains. “With men, the
conversation tends to get right
to what am I trying to sell you,
and you trying to sell me?”
She says female-led
businesses also tend to
be smaller, have fewer
employees and are more
likely to be home-based than
those fronted by men.
Who is she?
Professional business

says women in business

“[Women] may choose
to start their own business
because they want a better

Most women-owned
businesses are in the services
area, Huhtanen points out.
This includes everything from
health care, real estate sales
and mortgage brokerage,
to graphic design and
accounting. She believes this
is because they’re motivated
by finances, but they also
want to make a social impact.
Women want to make the
Here are some of the
qualities that characterize
the new Canadian female
entrepreneur, Huhtanen
finds:
She’s proficient in
marketing, sales and
finances. Women tend to
be less comfortable dealing
with numbers and don’t
like to know if they’re
doing badly, but successful
women address these
key areas of financial
reality so they can make
good decisions.
She’s good at networking.
She recognizes the
importance of relationships
and attends networking
events. She seeks out
mentors and strategic
partners. Before she joins an
association, she “test drives”
it to see if it’s the right fit.
She’s not afraid to ask
for help. She asks for
others’ opinions, seeks out
a mentor when she needs
to and outsources tasks
that aren’t her strengths
(like website building,
for instance).
She has an online
presence. She doesn’t
need to be an expert,
but she does need basic
literacy in the digital
world. She determines
what’s appropriate for her
business, who her target
audience is and how to
reach them. Customers
in their 20s take a different
approach than those in
their 50s.
She has passion and
energy. She knows if she is
not passionate about her
product or service, people
won’t buy it. She knows
she has the right solution
for whomever she’s talking
to, and comes across as
confident and caring.
She follows up. If she
doesn’t have time to
follow up personally,
she has an assistant or a
template to do so within
24 hours. She makes
regular contact with highprobability prospects.
She holds herself
accountable. Or if she
feels she can’t, she finds
someone else to hold
her accountable, such
as a mentor, friend or
partner who can serve as a
sounding board and provide
an outside perspective.
She sets clear goals and
establishes a timeline and
action plan.

A boom in business
Self-employed women on the rise
I
n today’s economy,
female entrepreneurs
are a mighty force. Nearly
one million females are selfemployed in this country and
their ranks are growing.
In 2012, there were 950,000
self-employed women.
Between 2001 and 2011,
their numbers grew by 23
per cent (accounting for
slightly more than one-third
of self-employed persons). At
the same time, the number
of self-employed men grew
by just 14 per cent. In 2014,
Ontario had the highest
concentration of selfemployed women, followed
by British Columbia, Alberta
and Quebec.
A TD Economics Report
from January 2015 reports
three main motivations for
becoming an entrepreneur:
classic (the desire for
independence, creativity,
challenge or wanting to be
one’s own boss); forced (due
to job loss or other reasons);
and work-family, when
entrepreneurs seek greater
personal and professional
balance in their lives.
According to the report,
male entrepreneurs (71 per
cent) were more motivated
by classic reasons than
women (53 per cent). Both
sexes were equally motivated
(22 per cent each) by forced
situations. And 25 per cent
of female entrepreneurs
were motivated by workfamily reasons, compared
to only 7 per cent of male
entrepreneurs.
Female-owned businesses
are more likely to be small
(one to 99 employees) than
medium-sized. Most
women-owned firms have
one to four employees,
the TD report says, and
predominantly represent
traditionally female-centric
industries. About 90 per cent
Support required
of female-owned businesses
are in the services sector
(anything from interior
design to marketing to
accounting), while this
number is only 70 per cent for
male-owned businesses.
Smaller size,
more innovative
They might be smaller, but
that doesn’t mean femaleowned enterprises are less
innovative. In fact, they are
slightly more inclined than
male-owned ventures to
have been involved in an
innovation activity. Their most
common type of innovation
tends to be a new or improved
good or service.
However, women
entrepreneurs seem less
likely to pursue other growthenhancing strategies than
men. Only about 5 per cent
are engaged in exporting,
but that may be because
they are more inclined to
offer domestically oriented
services than men.
In 2010 an Industry Canada
Women Entrepreneurs
report found that on average,
female business owners
were younger and reported
fewer years of management
or ownership experience
compared with male
business owners.
Their revenues were
still significantly less than
revenues earned by
majority male-owned firms
in 2004 and 2007. However,
before-tax net incomes
generated by majority
female-owned firms were
comparable to net incomes
generated by majority maleowned firms.
Female-owned
enterprises are
slightly more
inclined than
male-owned
ventures to have
been involved
in an innovation
activity.
New research from BMO
Financial Group with Carleton
University and The Beacon
Agency confirms that female
entrepreneurs are ambitious
and are making risk-related
decisions necessary to achieve
their objectives.
Despite the evidence that
female-led enterprises
are increasing in number,
financial institutions and
investors have not fully
understood or supported
their resource needs to start
and grow their businesses.
The high value often placed
on projected fast growth
does not support women
entrepreneurs who take a
holistic approach to growth
and focus more on longterm sustainability.
This is why one of the
biggest hurdles women
entrepreneurs report
facing is financing. In the
BMO report, 80 per cent
of female business owners
said they faced obstacles in
securing loans from banks.
Often they start businesses
using their own resources
or by taking personal
loans from friends or
family, and/or through
organizations such as the
Business Development
Bank. They use personal
finances to fund a business
for multiple reasons such
as lack of financial literacy,
fear of being turned down
by the bank and a general
dislike of debt.
Women often seek ways
to increase profit at their
current business level
rather than simply looking
to grow. They are likely to
seek expert advice when
considering growth and
many have taken courses
on entrepreneurship.
The TD report found
that while women are still
under-represented among
entrepreneurs, the upswing
in female self-employment
is a positive sign that more
women are overcoming the
hurdles and striking out on
their own.

market capitalization roughly doubled, despite the financial crisis,
and their profits surged by 150%. But the future looks far less certain.

If you’ve got kids, you’ll get why Spin Master
turned a $452-million (U.S.) profit last year.
Its Paw Patrol brand—a TV show and toy
line—is a juggernaut. Plus, it owns Air Hogs,
Meccano, Spy Gear, the Zoomer line of
robotic toys, and Etch-a-Sketch, which
it bought in February. Not bad, considering
the trio of founders started off hawking
nylons stuffed with grass seeds.

Return on equity
...JUST KIDDING!
SOURCE CANADIAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION
Sure, Canada’s big banks face a few challenges. But let’s
be honest: They still vacuum up the majority of profits—
more than $34 billion in 2015, or roughly 10 times the take
for Canadian utilities and three times that of the nation’s
insurers. Even when you compare the Big Six to global
banks like JPMorgan and HSBC, they still shine. /D.B.

Canadian banks stand out among
many of their global peers for
stability and big dividends—but
check out those gargantuan profits,
too. One way to measure how good
the banks have it here is to size
them up using return on equity, or
net income divided by shareholders’ equity.

is 8.3%. Canada’s Big Six, meanwhile, enjoy an average ROE that’s
an astounding 16%, putting them at
the top of the sector in the developed world. Focus solely on their
domestic operations and the numbers look even more rosy: RBC
(No. 1) has an ROE of 30% in its
personal and commercial banking
division; at TD Bank (No. 2), the
comparable figure climbs to more
than 40%.
Why are Canadian banks sitting
on gold? For one thing, they enjoy
an oligopoly, where upstart competitors are unlikely to undercut
them. For another, they enjoy the
benefits of guaranteed mortgages
through the Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corp. That last point
delivers the banks a huge advantage. Because they have low capital requirements—with the CMHC
backstopping loans, the risks of
default are muted—they can put
more of their cash to work.
But can the good times last forever? Maybe not (see “The banks
are doomed...” on the preceding
page). With their fat profits, Canadian banks look like ideal targets
for disruption.

IT’S A SMALL WORLD
AFTER ALL
By Tim Shufelt
After a five-year rout, small-cap stocks are making a comeback
—though you wouldn’t know it, judging by analyst and investor
interest in companies like Norsat International

Small caps
In early May, Norsat International (No. 278)
reported financial results from a solid first
quarter. The small firm, based in Richmond,
B.C., shipped a number of its military satellite
terminals to a “major Eurasian defence contractor” early in the year, which generated a nice
bump in revenue. Profits doubled over the previous year, costs were contained, margins were
up—just the kind of quarter that would typically delight the market. For Norsat, crickets.
With almost no analyst coverage and few
remaining funds focused on stocks that small,
Norsat shares registered zero investor interest in the company’s success. The stock barely
moved for more than a week—an eternity
in today’s algorithmic trading environment,
where news is acted upon in a heartbeat.
After a brutal five-year sell-off, the market for
smaller Canadian stocks is like a hockey arena
that half-empties midway through a visitingteam blowout. Now that the comeback is on,
there aren’t many people left to see it. “We can
spend months accumulating the positions we
want. Nobody cares—nobody’s looking,” says
Chris Guthrie, president of Hillsdale Investment, which owns shares in Norsat.
Things started to go badly for Canadian
small-cap stocks in mid-2011, around the same
time the global commodity complex tipped into
a downturn. A heavy dependence on resources
ensured the domestic small-cap space would be
ravaged as commodity prices fell. Since peaking in 2011, the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index fell by
nearly 50% over almost five years up to January.
The S&P/TSX Venture Composite fell by more
than 80% over the same time.
The sustained sell-off has made casualties of
one-quarter of the country’s boutique broker-

ages, while the larger independents have had
to cut deeply. Sell-side research is thin, IPOs
are rare, and investors have turned away from
small-cap stocks to concentrate their equity
holdings in larger names and large-cap funds.
On the plus side, there’s little competition
for the investors that remain. “There are no
more crowded trades in Canadian small-caps,”
says Guthrie, who also manages Hillsdale’s
Canadian Micro Cap Equity Fund. And yet,
there is money to be made. Since its inception
in December, 2013, that fund has generated an
annual average return of 11.9% and was up by
22.5% in the first third of this year. After hitting
valuations not seen since the financial crisis,
Canadian small-caps have been swept up by the
commodity rally. The SmallCap Index rose by
nearly 50% in the four months up to mid-May,
which exceeds any uptrend of the last five years.
And slowly, the resurgence is drawing interest
back into Canadian small-caps, Guthrie says.
But be selective. “At this point, investors can’t
just close their eyes and buy small-caps. You
have to make sure they’re actually growing.”

Lewis and a group of

the so-called Leap

for Canada to generate
all electricity from

2050, and slash the
production and use
of fossil fuels. Alberta
NDP Premier Rachel
Notley dismissed
those ideas as “naive.”
But if you’re trying to
set your investment

best to follow the

Is the Top 1000 little more than a collection of fusty banks, insurers and
resource plays? Are there companies in other industries that have delivered impressive returns to shareholders, yet still offer growth prospects?
And can you find them cheap? That’s a tall order, especially if you want
to find bargains below the traditional value investor’s price-to-earnings
(P/E) threshold of 20. But good assets are pricey these days, and if you’re
prepared to venture a little above 20, you’ll find some real deals. /John Daly

Hardwoods
Distribution
Oil and gas markets were a mess
early this year. Brent oil, the international standard, crashed to $27
(U.S.) a barrel. West Texas Intermediate, the North American benchmark,
fell even lower. Because investors
were so petrified, most energy companies couldn’t raise the money they
needed to fund their daily operations.
Yet a select few could—those backed
or run by a small group of men whom
sophisticated investors have grown to
worship. Their common bonds: lowcost businesses, solid balance sheets
and an aversion to pricey acquisitions.
Investors are showing some willingness to venture beyond these trusted
names now that oil’s flirting with $50
again. But no one knows how fleeting
this rally will be. If there’s another market hiccup or another crash, you’ll feel
protected flocking to these folks—bigname investors sure do. /Tim Kiladze

Neil Roszell, CEO, Raging River Exploration (No. 197)
Trained as an industrial engineer, Roszell made his name selling a bunch of junior companies to the likes of Crescent Point
Energy. His latest venture operates in the southwest region of the Viking formation and produces light oil, not heavy crude
from the oil sands. Raging River’s first wells were drilled in 2012, and investors have long salivated over the fact that its
annual cash flow is five times greater than its debt. Meanwhile, at some rivals, debt is four times greater than cash flow.
Grant Fagerheim, CEO, Whitecap Resources (No. 965)
Whitecap’s CEO was raised in Estevan, Saskatchewan. After selling previous ventures including Cadence Energy and Ketch
Energy, he founded Whitecap in 2009 by acquiring Encana assets. Having worked at Dome Petroleum, the energy company
that went belly-up in the ’80s, he’s learned what a crippling debt load can do to an energy company. Investors have loved
his fiscal prudence ever since.
Don Gray, former CEO, Peyto Exploration and Development (No. 104), and chairman, Petrus Resources (No. 862)
In Calgary, almost everyone is sick of hearing from him, yet so much of what he’s said has come true. Take this gem from
a few years back: “We reward mediocrity,” he said of the energy industry, adding that “it’s a giant Ponzi scheme.” Gray has
long argued that energy companies spend buckets of money to acquire new assets, but rarely grow their barrels of energy
per share. After building natural-gas star Peyto, he’s raising money for Petrus, his latest venture, in the current downturn.
Patrick Carlson, CEO, Seven Generations Energy (No. 927)
Some of the world’s most prominent private equity players started lining up behind Carlson and his liquids-rich natural gas
venture in the Montney formation nearly a decade ago. Seven Generations has since exploded. Its first big financing was
at $5 per share in 2008. The company went public in 2014 at $18. Today it trades around $26. There’s nothing sexy to it—
just solid execution. A lot of companies blow their brains out spending ridiculous amounts on drilling and fracking; Carlson
does it extremely efficiently.
Clayton Woitas, chairman, Encana (No. 998)
At the start of the century, Woitas was known for running Renaissance Energy, which went on a roller-coaster run and
didn’t end well. He’s redeemed himself since, particularly in the eyes of wealthy investors who put money into his private
companies, including Home Quarter (sold to Whitecap) and Range Royalty (sold to PrairieSky). Now Encana’s chairman,
he stepped in as interim CEO in 2013, and he’s known across the energy patch as a mentor to up-and-comers.
Mike Rose, CEO, Tourmaline Oil (No. 125)
His track record speaks volumes. Rose sold Berkley Petroleum to Anadarko Petroleum for $1.6 billion in 2001, then
famously unloaded Duvernay Oil to Royal Dutch Shell for $5.9 billion at the height of the energy boom in 2008. He started
Tourmaline shortly after, and the Duvernay management team came with him. A Boston Red Sox fan who married into
Calgary’s famous Riddell family, Rose is a geologist by training who is praised for his aversion to debt. Arguably his biggest
stamp of approval: Even Don Gray admires him.

But it has been efficient

Loading and unloading

Nova Scotia, to Port
Colborne, Ontario, and
as far north as Deception

six U.S ports. Added to
the stevedoring is an
environmental services
division called Sanexen.
It has a unique process
for lining old water
pipes, and Sanexen now
provides more than 40%

Combine the two

CASH NOW,
GOLD LATER
At least, that’s the idea behind royalty
streaming companies—paying miners up
front for a chunk of future resources
Investors who like precious metals, but hate the grimy, risky business of actually digging them up, are
turning to an alternative source:
streaming companies.
Think of streamers as gold and
silver producers that mine balance
sheets instead of ore deposits. They
provide miners with cash today in
return for metals tomorrow. In a
typical deal, a streamer agrees to pay
large amounts—often hundreds of
millions of dollars—to a miner for
the right to purchase a future stream
of production from one of the miner’s properties at a cheap, fixed price
for years to come.
The result, from the streamer’s
perspective, is a virtual gold or silver mine—a steady flow of metal
but without any of the production
hassles or operational risks that the
actual miner has to confront. The
miner, in turn, can use the cash to
develop a property, pay down debt
or take care of other current needs.
Silver Wheaton Corp. (No. 930) of
Vancouver pioneered the streaming
model in 2004. Today, publicly traded
streamers include Silver Wheaton,
Franco-Nevada Corp. (No. 190) of
Toronto, Royal Gold Inc. of Denver
and Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (No. 842)
of Vancouver. In another recent
deal, Elliott Management Corp., the
big U.S. hedge fund, is throwing its
muscle behind a new streamer, Triple Flag, based in Toronto.
Streaming’s growth is the flip side
of the mining industry’s long ordeal.
Since the commodity supercycle
By Ian McGugan
peaked in 2011 and metals prices
turned down, miners have struggled.
Deserted by many investors, they’ve
found it difficult to raise capital.
Streamers have rushed to fill the gap.
In theory, this works to everyone’s advantage, because miners of
base metals like copper or zinc tend
to trade at lower valuations in the
stock market than producers of precious metals like gold and silver.
The valuation gap opens up a
potential win-win. Consider a copper miner that produces silver as a
byproduct of its main operations. It
could market the trickle of the precious metal itself, but the stock market won’t give it a lot of credit for
doing so and it has to wait for the
money to come in.
If it sells the future stream to a
streamer, however, it can receive
cash immediately. The buyer can
prosper, too, because investors will
put a higher value on the silver output as part of a precious-metals
streamer than as part of a base-metals producer.
That, at least, is the theory. But
some critics charge that streamers
have been getting too good a deal
from cash-strapped base-metal miners. They worry streamers are buying up much of the industry’s upside.
Streamers retort that no amount
of financial engineering can get
around the sector’s fundamental
logic: If precious metals prices go up,
streamers will do exceptionally well.
However, if gold and silver tumble,
streamers will feel the pain, too.

Reversal of fortune
Canada’s largest gold producers had a lousy 2015—six posted massive
losses and suffered big share-price declines. But because producers’
balance sheets are leveraged, movements in bullion prices often
trigger much larger movements in their share prices. After declining
by 10% last year, bullion gained 15% over the first five months of
2016, and share prices have surged.

Momentum investing
FOLLOW THE HERD?
By Tim Kiladze
PHOTOGRAPH SCOTT EELLS/BLOOMBERG
Buy when everyone’s buying and sell when everyone’s
selling—seems pretty simple. But you might want to talk
to Bill Ackman before you deploy this strategy
We’re told to make investments based on
profit potential, revenue growth and age-old
valuation tools like price-to-earnings ratio. But
what if none of those rules matter any more?
Massive bubbles have popped up in the past
few years—both in broad sectors, like mining
and energy, and in individual stocks, like Valeant Pharmaceuticals (No. 957). We know now
that momentum investing is largely to blame.
The strategy throws fundamentals to the wind;
investors are taught to follow the herd—to buy
because everyone else is buying. This momentum play delivered massive gains for anyone
who invested in real estate investment trusts
before May, 2013, or in oil and gas stocks before
energy markets started cratering in 2014, or in
Valeant before its wheels fell off last year.
The trouble is that the reversals are often
swift, and when they take hold, momentum
strategies are deployed in the other direction—
sell because everyone else is selling. That’s
probably why energy companies were decimated early this year. No one had a clue if oil
was really worth $30 (U.S.) per barrel, but the
sentiment was ugly, so everyone traded off of it.
The sudden global market collapse early this
year was one of the worst reversals in decades,
rivalled only by the dot-com bubble and the
2008 financial crisis, according to analysts at
CIBC World Markets who studied the momentum investing phenomenon. What did they
find? “Historically, momentum crashes last for
three to six months, after which momentum
regains its winning touch,” they wrote in a note
Return of the REITs
Once upon a time, real
estate investment trusts
were one of Canada’s
hottest investments.
Then, in 2013, investors
abandoned them en masse.
This year, they’re back—
the TSX/S&P REIT Index
is up 16.3%, including
distributions. But no
one knows whether

to clients. “Here in Canada,
VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS (TSX)
momentum appears to rebound
$350
at closer to three months.”

The takeaway: Don’t ignore
the prevalence of these strate250
gies. If you’re a value investor,

you’d better be able to play the

hold next? And when the stock

or sector falls out of favour, it
0
takes time for people to find

their feet again.
Momentum strategies can
also be self-fulfilling. More
people are investing in exchange-traded funds, which
track broad indexes. If a single
stock takes off, its weight in
the index will increase, which
means ETFs will need to buy it.
That pushes the price higher.
Ackman’s
For anyone willing to play the herd, the CIBC
total loss
(in U.S. $)
analysts offer these words of caution: “Ultion Valeant
mately, momentum crashes are all about meanfrom its
reversion.” The thinking behind any rampant
peak
buying or selling will eventually fall apart and
stocks will revert to their average multiples, like
the normal long-term price-to-earnings ratio.
That means making money with a momentum
strategy requires getting out before the reversal. It also requires knowing what the masses
think. Some people will make educated guesses
and get it right, but doing it over and over again
is practically impossible. Just ask Bill Ackman,
who has lost billions on Valeant.
2010 to May, 2013
The argument, in retrospect,
was too simple: After the feds
banned income trusts in 2006,
investors went searching for
sizable yields and piled into
REITs. Their market prices
soared, helping them fund
property purchases—so they
acquired like crazy. By early
2013, the sector had returned
an average of 21% annually,
including distributions,
over the previous three years.
Growth seemed endless.
$4.5 billion
May, 2013, through 2015
The sector went haywire in
2013, when U.S. investors
started freaking about the
potential for interest rate hikes
south of the border. Because
so many investors bought
REITs for their yields, there
was sudden panic that other
safe investments, such as
government bonds, would start
to look attractive again. With
the market so frothy, it didn’t
take much to pop the bubble,
so the sell-off was fierce.
January, 2016, to present
Investors have realized they
overreacted, and REITs are
roaring back (though they’re
still a ways from their 2013
peak). Canada’s economy is
barely growing, and Alberta is
a mess, but the wheels haven’t
fallen off. That has prompted
rapid buying. The question
now: Will another U.S. rate hike
kill the rally? That very fear is
what caused the correction in
the first place.

sentiment in Europe keeps rising?
It may be best to stick with companies that already have solid
roots in Europe. As of early June, it looked like U.K. voters were evenly
divided on Brexit, and the Canada EU Trade Agreement, completed in
2014, has yet to be ratified by the European Parliament. Even if it opens
the door wider to Canada, however, our biggest exports will still be
minerals and other commodities. For more value-added, consider these
three options: Power Corp. (No. 14) and Power Financial (No. 11), which
have large European investments in building materials, French oil giant
Total and Pernod Ricard wines and spirits through Pargesa Inc., the
decades-old alliance between the Desmarais family and Belgium’s Frère
clan; Magna International (No. 10), which operates vehicle and parts
factories in Europe through Austria-based Magna Steyr; or Torontobased Northland Power (No. 385), which is building one of Europe’s
largest offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
U.S. Federal
Reserve keeps increasing
interest rates?
Then → Avoid precious metals,
which benefit most from inflation,
but consider investing in just
about any other healthy Top
1000 company, particularly
solid dividend payers. Fed chair
Janet Yellen raised rates for
the first time in eight years last
December, and seems ready to do
it again as the U.S. economy gets
hotter. Historically, a strong U.S.
economy is one of the best things
for Canadian stocks. Fed rate
increases also make it easier for
Bank of Canada Governor Stephen
Poloz to keep doing nothing with
Canadian rates. He doesn’t have
to lower them to try to help the
Alberta oil patch, which could
also weaken the loonie and
aggravate a real estate bubble.
Yet he doesn’t have to raise them,
either, which would cool financial
services stocks and REITs. With
the Government of Canada
10-year bond yielding a paltry
2% or less recently, even staid
old banks and pipelines, such as
TransCanada Corp. (No. 984) and
Pembina (No. 46), look sweet,
with dividend yields near 4%.

Canada and says he wants a “big, big chunk of the profits” if TransCanada’s
Keystone XL pipeline goes ahead. If he wins in November and many Americans flee to Canada, consider moving south, buying their houses on the cheap,
and loading up on shares of U.S. shale oil and coal producers.

will be telling Alberta oil sands producers the same
thing: Oil doesn’t make much sense right now. But
it's very hard to slash production at huge long-term
projects, or delay them. In February, TD Securities
released a report showing that the break-even crude
price for 10 big oil sands projects is about $47 (U.S.)
a barrel. The price has fluctuated between $40 and
$50 for most of the past two years, and no one
is predicting a breakout any time soon. Investors
have already done the logical things: stuck with the
strongest and most diverse of the big publicly traded
oil sands producers—Suncor (No. 989) and Imperial

ones—MEG Energy (No. 985) and Husky Energy

What if → Brazil degenerates into

Then → What else is new? The investing trade-off in
emerging markets is almost always short-term volatility versus big long-term growth potential. This
spring, Brazil’s economy was in a tailspin and President Dilma Rousseff was headed for a messy impeachment, yet the country’s stock market soared.
Much of Brazil and Canada’s dealings are in mining
and metals—Canadian gold miners are active in
Brazil, and Brazil’s Vale SA bought Inco Ltd. here in
2006. But if you have little appetite for commodities tumult, look for sectors that will keep chugging along. Brazil is the world’s fifth-largest milk
producer, but its dairy industry is still fragmented.

CONSUMERS...
Unless they get too drunk on debt, that is. Removing our
best bulwark against the resources slowdown would sting
Corporate Canada big time. /John Daly
Do Canadian stock markets parallel what’s going on in the real economy or predict it? Last year was so
grim in both realms that it was hard
to tell. The S&P/TSX Composite
Index declined by 11%, while American stocks finished the year close to
where they started. In many respects,
those results reflected actual economic performance—Canada stumbled into a recession in the first and
second quarters, while the American
economy kept plodding ahead.
The trouble with Canada is its former growth engine: resources. Last
year, the price rout continued in a
slew of global commodity markets—
oil, gold, silver, base metals, lumber
and more. As our annual Top 1000
ranking shows, the retreat carved
huge chunks out of corporate bottom
lines. A couple of oil and gas giants—
Imperial and Cenovus—still earned
hefty profits, but 10 others appear in
the bottom 20 of the ranking. Many
smaller producers and field services
companies were also hammered, and
the sector as a whole lost $41.5 billion.
The bleeding was just as frightening among mining companies. Six of
Canada’s eight largest gold producers
finished in the bottom 20. Mind you,
the price of bullion has since popped,
and so have their share prices. Miners of base metals may also be past
the worst.
Out in the rest of the economy, of
course, consumers continue to bank,
buy insurance, invest in mutual funds
and ETFs, go to the supermarket,
heat and cool their homes, and obsessively use their computers, TVs and
smartphones. Dozens of perennial
profit leaders among the Top 1000
that fulfill those needs had a solid

2015. And, yes, the Big Six banks continued to defy gravity and, as a group,
posted record profits yet again.
Looking ahead, David Rosenberg,
chief economist and strategist at
Gluskin Sheff + Associates, doesn’t
expect Canadian stocks to shoot the
lights out this year, but he says there
are opportunities for investors. Much
hinges on the price of oil. Rosenberg
thinks the benchmark West Texas
Intermediate crude price will settle
in the $50-to-$60 (U.S.) range, provided the global supply glut is totally
resolved.
That price isn’t high enough to
spur huge swaths of new investment
in the oil patch, Rosenberg says, but
it’s sufficient to generate operating
profits for exploration and production companies. It also helps the Big
Six banks. They have started booking
reserves against possible loan losses,
but he says that, “at $50-plus for oil,
a year from now, people may say the
banks over-reserved.”
Much of the rest of the economy
will likely get a lift from a low Canadian dollar. The U.S. Federal Reserve
raised its benchmark rate by a quarter-point from 0% last December,
and Rosenberg says it may do that
again this year. Higher U.S. rates
will maintain downward pressure
on the loonie, which helps Canadian
exporters.
And what about the elephant in
any forecast—sky-high consumer
debt levels and a possible crash in
the housing market? “That’s been like
waiting for Godot for the past five
years,” says Rosenberg. He doesn’t
expect a big reversal any time soon.
Apart from the Fed, central banks
in industrialized countries are in no
mood to raise interest rates. Economic growth is too tepid.
For Canadian investors, those low
rates mean government bonds yielding 2% or less. Solid dividend-paying
stocks look a lot more attractive.
Utilities, telcos, banks and other traditional widows-and-orphans stocks
have dividend yields near 4%, plus
the prospect of capital gains. Even
many oil patch stocks now appear
to have upside. It’s tempting, to be
sure—but better keep your seatbelts
fastened.

Notes For ranking purposes, figures from companies that report in foreign currencies have been converted to Canadian dollars and partial-year results have been annualized. Foreign currencies are converted at the end
of the relevant fiscal period for balance sheet items and at the average exchange rate for the relevant period for earnings items. Share-price calculations are based on closing share prices on the companies’ balance
sheet dates. Footnotes 1. Company reports in U.S. dollars. 2. Revenue includes unrealized gains and losses on bonds and other assets, as required by international accounting standards. These gains and losses are
often substantial for insurers, and can vary widely from year to year. 3. Figures have been annualized in latest year. 4. Figures have been annualized in previous year. 5. Figures have been annualized in previous three
through five years. Abbreviations n/a = not available, n/m = not meaningful, n/r = not ranked

Still timeless after generations.
The Porsche 911.
Since its introduction, the 911 has challenged what a sports car can be – each
generation establishing a seemingly unbeatable precedent for the next with
unique innovations born on the race track. More than five decades later, the 911
is still the beating heart of the Porsche brand, the central point of reference for
all other Porsche models, and the benchmark for automobiles around the world.

The first 911.
As the successor of the iconic Porsche 356, the
911 revolutionized the sports car with timeless
design and a six-cylinder boxer engine in the rear.
It won the hearts of driving enthusiasts from the
outset and set the style for all 911 generations
to come. A legend was born.

The 997.
The 997 offered more than just style with a visual
return to older 911 models, it offered a substantially
reworked chassis and high performance. Along with
extensive customization to suit drivers’ individual needs,
the 911 family grew to include 24 model variations.

The 991.
The 991 represented the greatest technical
leap in the evolution of the 911, raising
performance and efficiency to new levels, while
staying true to Porsche design DNA with its
flat, stretched silhouette, precise details, and
exciting contours.

porsche.ca/911
If history is any indication, you’re looking at
the future of sports cars.
The new 911.
A new 911 has arrived. And, along with a legacy full of tradition, it brings with it a new
generation of twin-turbo boxer engines, meaning more power, increased efficiency,
and more Porsche than ever before. It’s the fastest and most innovative 911 ever –
the product of a never-ending desire to upend the status quo and continually challenge
what a sports car can be. You could say it’s like every 911 that has come before it.
In other words, unlike anything else in the world.

People think that in this job,
if someone were to mark you
in school, you’d score 90%.
I think you’re doing okay if
you score 60%. It’s a fastmoving world and you make
mistakes all of the time. In
retrospect, it doesn’t matter
if something is a mistake;
it’s how you react to it.
What are your thoughts
today about Ottawa blocking
the Alliant takeover?
Eye on the sky
It took two tries for Daniel Friedmann to put himself out of a job at
Richmond, B.C.-based MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA),
the company where he worked for 37 years, the last 20 of them as CEO.
Each time, he says, it was to keep the satellite company from nose-diving.
The first attempt was in 2008, when Friedmann reluctantly staged the
sale of MDA’s dominant division to U.S.-based Alliant Techsystems Inc.
for $1.3 billion. The federal government blocked the deal, saying
MDA’s Radarsat-2 satellite, which keeps an eye on the Arctic, ought
to stay in Canadian hands. Now, Friedmann has handed over the reins
to Howard Lance so MDA can go American in a different way.
Why are you leaving?
It boils down to the
company’s strategy of trying
to access the U.S. market
and trying to get more
development for all of its
commercial products. The
best and perhaps the only
viable solution is to have an
American in charge, based
in the U.S., who has the
security clearance needed.
What was the best thing
about your job?
It’s an amazing business.
You get to communicate, to
explore the universe, go to
Mars. We’ve done so many
projects. They all give you
goosebumps when you win
them, when you launch
them, like the Canadarm and
Radarsat—the ones people
are familiar with in Canada.
What was the most
challenging part of the job?
Building a big, successful
high-tech company in
Canada is unbelievably hard
and frustrating because we
just don’t have the industrial
policy and political
understanding of what it
takes to do those things and
to keep those companies
going. I was trying to build
a lasting, multibillion-dollar
company in Canada. It’s like
farming in bad soil; you need
to have some help in terms
of policies and environment.
What was your biggest
accomplishment?
Ever since I’ve been CEO,
every quarter has been
profitable. I guess it’s about
80 quarters over 20 years.
Having a steady, profitable,
diversified business is an
amazing challenge, and
I think that’s the biggest
accomplishment.
What was your biggest
mistake?
What do you plan to do next?
I’m not retiring. That’s not
a word in my vocabulary.
Being an engineer, I’m going
to sit down and go through
the process of what to do
next. I love learning. I’m
going to catch up on my
quantum mechanics and
artificial intelligence and
some cosmology stuff I
haven’t been able to keep up
with, and a pile of religious
texts that I haven’t had a
chance to read. That’s where
my spare time is going to go,
at least in the short term.
What will you take from your
office on the way out?
Pictures of my daughter.
Also my calculator, because
I really like it. /Brenda Bouw

I didn’t want to do it.
I would’ve been out of
a job. We had to do it. I
was actually physically ill
for about a week before
I went to the board to
suggest [a sale]. It was
the first time I believed
that some sicknesses are
psychologically induced. I
went through with it because
I just didn’t think we could
survive. When it got turned
down, it was a good thing
for me personally. I kept my
job. The government then
proceeded to put $1 billion
of work into MDA and it all
worked out. I personally
don’t think the $1 billion
would’ve come otherwise.
I don’t have any regrets. It
was the right thing to do at
the time for the company.
