    Why One of the World’s Biggest Gold Miners Is Doubling Down on Canada

    One of the world’s largest gold producers is ready to invest more in Canada. Fresh off the Canada Investment Summit, Amber Kanwar sits down with Ammar Al-Joundi, President & CEO of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, for a wide-ranging conversation about Canada’s changing investment climate, the outlook for gold and why he believes this could be a pivotal moment for the country’s resource sector. Al-Joundi says Agnico Eagle is already spending more in Canada—and that recent changes have given the company greater confidence to deploy capital here. He discusses the company’s US$2.5 billion investment at Hope Bay in Nunavut, the potential impact of faster project reviews and why jurisdictional certainty has become increasingly valuable to global investors. They also dig into what has made Agnico Eagle stand out in the gold industry, from its focus on politically stable mining regions to its balance-sheet discipline and what Al-Joundi calls the company’s “culture of the heart.” He explains why Agnico prioritizes growth on a per-share basis, how it plans to increase production by roughly 20 to 30 percent into the early-to-mid 2030s, and why acquisitions remain a selective part of the strategy. Plus, Al-Joundi explains why he remains constructive on gold despite its recent pullback, why he views himself as a “hard asset bug” rather than a gold bug, whether the Bank of Canada could ever buy gold again, and why Agnico Eagle sees a major opportunity in Canadian critical minerals. It’s a conversation about gold, growth and whether Canada’s resource sector is entering a new era.

    Dan Niles: AI Won’t Kill Us—But Some AI Stocks Won’t Survive

    Dan Niles doesn’t think AI wiping out humanity is a likely outcome—but he does think the technology could wipe out plenty of stocks. The Founder & Portfolio Manager of Niles Investment Management joins Amber Kanwar at a moment of peak AI anxiety to separate the existential fears from the very real investment risks. Niles believes AI is the biggest technological revolution since the internet and that agentic AI is still in its early stages, but he also sees warning signs in slowing AI spending growth, data-centre push-outs and increasingly aggressive assumptions about how long the boom can last. He also weighs in on the battle among the biggest names in AI, including Google, Meta and the frontier model companies, and explains why the next phase of the revolution could produce a very different group of winners and losers. Niles makes the case for Meta as an AI comeback story, explains why Nvidia may be in a different category from some of the more speculative AI infrastructure plays, and warns that investors shouldn’t assume every stock will simply bounce back if the market turns. In the mailbag, Niles tackles Snowflake (SNOW), Marvell Technology (MRVL), Celestica (CLS), Nebius Group (NBIS), Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN) and SpaceX. He explains why he isn’t convinced Snowflake will escape AI disruption, why he prefers Marvell to Celestica, why the neo-clouds could be among the first casualties if AI spending slows, and how Amazon’s strength in robotics could reshape its long-term investment case. He also explains why, despite being a huge believer in Elon Musk and the future of space, valuation and cash flow make SpaceX difficult for him to own. In Pro Picks, one idea makes a return appearance: cash. Niles picked cash alongside Cisco Systems (CSCO), Microsoft (MSFT) and Nvidia (NVDA) when he last appeared in May 2025, and this time he puts cash at the very top of his list as growing market risks make patience more valuable. He also likes Meta Platforms (META), where a lower valuation, improving AI models and new ways to monetize its AI spending have made the risk-reward more attractive. And he’s bullish on Apple (AAPL), where he believes product-focused leadership and the arrival of a foldable iPhone could finally spark a major new upgrade cycle next year. Niles also revisits Cisco, Microsoft and Nvidia from his past picks, including why Cisco’s position at the centre of networking infrastructure could continue to benefit as companies build out their own AI systems.

    JF Tardif: “We’re Definitely Ready” If Markets Turn Ugly

    Tariffs are dominating the headlines, but they’re not the biggest risk Jean-François Tardif sees for investors. The President of Timelo Investment Management is cautious on the economy, skeptical that the massive AI spending boom can last and actively positioning for downside.  He explains why he’s short Canadian banks and semiconductors, using puts on the S&P 500 and Nvidia, and preparing his portfolio for what could happen when AI spending eventually rolls over. At the same time, Tardif remains net long equities through gold and oil, explains why he sees gold stocks as significantly more attractive than copper right now and tells us his top gold stock. He also weighs in on the controversial H&R REIT deal, why he calls it a “take-under” and why he’s been buying more shares even as he considers voting against it. In the mailbag, Tardif goes in depth on the Canadian banks and explains why taking profits in a tax-free account is a 'no-brainer'.  He also talks CAE (CAE), Toromont Industries (TIH), goeasy (GSY) and Propel Holdings (PRL), Champion Iron (CIA), Village Farms International (VFF) and Magna Mining (NICU). Plus, he explains why he’s bearish on parts of the economy, what insider selling can tell investors and where he’s finding opportunities in beaten-down sectors. In Pro Picks, Tardif revisits last year’s ideas, including Total Energy Services (TOT), which has roughly tripled since his appearance, Calian Group (CGY), up more than 50%, and H&R REIT (HR.UN). Then he reveals three new ideas: Adentra (ADEN), a cash-generating consolidator he believes is cheap even without a housing recovery; Colliers International (CIGI), a former market darling hit by fears over AI and commercial real estate; and Dutch Bros (BROS), a fast-growing coffee chain he believes has the potential to multiply its store count over time.

    Rick Rule: Commodity Weakness Is Coming—Here’s What to Buy

    Legendary commodity investor Rick Rule sees weakness coming for natural resources and thinks investors should be ready to take advantage. In this special season premiere episode, he's here to tell you what he's buying.  Rick Rule, President and CEO of Rule Investment Media, joins In the Money with Amber Kanwar to kick off a new season with his outlook for gold, oil and natural resource stocks. While higher interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar could weigh on commodities through the rest of 2026, Rule remains firmly bullish over the longer term—and says a pullback could put the assets he wants to own “on sale.” He explains why he believes declining purchasing power and negative real interest rates could ultimately propel gold higher, and why years of underinvestment could leave the oil market facing a structural supply shortage by the end of the decade. In the mailbag, Rule tackles viewer questions on Abaxx Technologies (ABXX), Nations Royalty (NRC), International Petroleum (IPCO), Athabasca Oil (ATH), Dundee Corporation (DC.A), Vizsla Silver (VZLA), Solaris Resources (SLS), Copper Giant Resources (CGNT) and Alphamin Resources (AFM)—digging into everything from management and valuation to geopolitical risk and the enormous potential rewards that can come with it. And in Pro Picks, Rule revisits last year’s ideas—including Sprott (SII), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and the former EMX Royalty, now part of Elemental Royalty (ELE)—and reveals three stocks he likes now across the risk spectrum: Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), Equinox Gold (EQX) and speculative play Talon Metals (TLO). On Talon, Rule makes the stakes clear: if his exploration thesis is wrong, investors could lose 50%. If it works, he believes the discovery could be profound.

    Richard Abboud: Building a $4 Billion Business—and a More Ambitious Canada (SPONSORED)

    Richard Abboud dropped out of university to pursue entrepreneurship. Today, he’s the Founder & CEO of Forum Asset Management, a $4 billion asset management business—and one of the country’s most vocal advocates for a more ambitious Canada. In the final installment of Can Canada Meet the Moment?, Amber Kanwar sits down with Abboud to trace his journey from running teenage dance venues to building one of Canada’s largest student housing businesses. He explains why Forum is betting on student housing and self-storage, where he sees opportunity in Canadian real estate, and why his investment philosophy starts with finding an “unfair advantage.” He also breaks down how Forum offers investors access to these private-market opportunities through a range of funds designed for different risk appetites and needs for income and growth. But Abboud is also thinking beyond his own business. He founded Shift Canada to help change Canadian culture around risk, innovation and the fear of failure. Its Shift Failure program is taught in junior high and high schools across the country and has reached 600,000 students in three years, encouraging young Canadians to see failure as part of growth rather than something to fear. Shift Canada also tracks Canadians’ willingness to take risks and be ambitious through its Bold Ambition Index. Can Canada become more ambitious, take bigger risks and seize the opportunity in front of it? Abboud believes there’s no reason Canada shouldn’t be at the top of the world—but Canadians need to be willing to speak up, take risks and get on with it.

    Canada’s SpaceX: The New Space Race—and Living on the Moon by 2028

    Canada was one of the first countries in space. Now, as a new space race takes off, does it have what it takes to become a global leader again? In this episode of our summer series Can Canada Meet the Moment?, Paige Ellis sits down with Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA Space—Canada’s answer to SpaceX—to explore the enormous economic opportunity opening up beyond Earth. Greenley says the Earth-to-Moon economy represents a new economic frontier worth trillions of dollars, with humans expected to start living and working on the Moon as early as 2028. Canada already has world-leading expertise in space robotics, satellite communications and Earth observation—but capturing the opportunity will require moving faster and thinking much bigger. Greenley explains why Canada needs its own launch capability, how rising defence spending could help build a stronger domestic space industry, and why relying on other countries for critical technology creates both economic and sovereignty risks. As the U.S. pulls back globally and countries put a greater emphasis on sovereignty and security, Greenley explains why Canada needs to build more critical capabilities at home while continuing to forge strategic partnerships abroad. He also makes the case that Canada’s unique combination of mining expertise and space robotics could eventually give it an advantage in lunar and asteroid mining, where potentially enormous deposits of critical minerals are waiting to be explored. Plus, Greenley lays out his ambitions to turn MDA Space into a much larger global company while helping create a new generation of billion-dollar Canadian space businesses—and explains why commercial trips to the Moon could become a reality within the next decade.

    Adam Waterous: Canada Can Become the Next Energy Superpower

    Canada has spent years talking about its energy potential. Adam Waterous thinks the country is finally ready to realize it. In the third episode of our special summer innovation series, Can Canada Meet the Moment?, host Amber Kanwar sits down with Adam Waterous, CEO & Managing Partner of Waterous Energy Fund, to discuss why he believes Canada has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become a global energy superpower. Waterous lays out his “down five, up five” thesis: over the next decade, he expects U.S. oil production to fall by roughly five million barrels a day while Canada has the potential to add five million—doubling its production and putting it in a position to compete with Saudi Arabia as one of the world’s largest oil producers. But getting there won’t be simple. Waterous breaks down the compromises behind Canada’s new energy ambitions, why the public sector is taking a bigger role in pipeline development, the regulatory and tax hurdles still facing producers, and what needs to happen to attract investment and actually fill those pipelines. He also explains why he believes the shift could be transformational for the Canadian economy and fundamentally change Canada’s leverage with the United States. Plus, Waterous discusses how he’s positioning his own companies for this new era, why long-life oil assets matter, what he looks for when buying energy assets, and where he sees opportunities after years of consolidation. Can Canada meet the moment? Waterous is unequivocal: he believes Canada’s position in the world has never been stronger. This interview was recorded during the Calgary Stampede, prior to Greenfire Resources announcing its $1.28-billion cash deal to acquire privately held heavy oil producer Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd on July 13, 2026.

    Canada Is Losing Founders. Can It Turn Things Around?

    Canada has no shortage of world-class entrepreneurs—but are we creating the right conditions for them to build the next generation of global companies here at home? In the second episode of our special summer series Can Canada Meet the Moment?, host Paige Ellis sits down with two successful Canadian founders who offer very different perspectives on one of the country's biggest economic challenges. Michele Romanow, "Dragon" on CBC's Dragons' Den and Co-Founder of Clearco, argues Canada is making it harder to build and scale startups. She explains why more founders are choosing the U.S., how Canadian policies can discourage innovation, why we protect incumbents instead of challengers, and what needs to change if Canada wants to keep its best entrepreneurs. Laura McGee, Co-founder of Arterra and Executive Chair of Diversio, offers a more nuanced view. Drawing on her experience building businesses in both Canada and the United States, she explains why founders look south for capital, the cultural differences between the two countries, what Canada gets right, and why she believes Canadian entrepreneurs can still build world-class companies from home. If Canada wants to become a global innovation leader, what has to change? This conversation explores the policies, culture, capital, and mindset shaping the future of Canadian entrepreneurship. Subscribe to In the Money with Amber Kanwar for more conversations with the investors, founders, and business leaders shaping Canada's future.
