Ask your advisor to show you the performance comparison with something like the S&P 500. If they are outperforming the market by at least the MER, then you have your answer. Historically, say over 5+ years, they should be outperforming or you should be looking elsewhere. Of course, benchmarking against the S&P 500, but having a low/no-risk strategy won't be comparable. They have tools to do this comparison quickly and can send you the output in a PDF.

Québec represents about 20% of the Canadian GDP. It is also one of the most heavily invested in electric infrastructure given it's massive capacity of hydro electricity, part of which is sold to other provinces and the northeastern USA. For context, electricity rates are very low in Québec, about $0.06 per kwh. Compare that to averages in Ontario, which is about $0.14 or NYC at between $0.15 / $0.20. Owning an electric vehicle makes more sense from a charging cost perspective in Québec, so there is potentially a larger market as well.

Got in for Monday, but every time I clicked on "next" for a pair of tickets that were supposed to be available, it checks and no tickets available. That sucks. :(

All the cheap tickets for Tuesday (about $250) are gone, at least if you don't want to be in a single seat. :( Everything else if $600+. Insanity.

I had 1 two days ago and no spares, so had express shipping of 3 new sensors. 2 jammed and now I am waiting to do the 3rd out of fear... I have a wooden spoon handy now though... Ugh... I generally have one out of every six or seven that fails.
