US inflation leaks to Canada, the US's major trading partner Yeah I never got a good answer on that one when the Loonie was heading to the moon,,, ok 80 cents.. Our debt is not that bad, not as good as outsiders think as they only look at the federal picture which masks the provincial and municipal problems in Ontario for example which is one third of Canada by population.. but we need to stay grounded ... 80% of our trade is with the US (I think Mr. Bush knows by now that it is not Mexico that is the biggest US trading partner :O) but won't stocks suffer too..

But as to the energy trusts.. it really IMO depends upon whether we get high interest rates and high inflation... If I can get Canada savings bonds at 15% which will be indexed up if private sector rates go up then yeah trusts will suffer... why take the risk ?
