(A Top Pick Aug 26/21, Up 12%) His return would have been higher had TRP not come to the market for equity recently, but that was done to finance pipelines in Mexico and BC.

TRP vs. ENB TRP has been under pressure about the dividend. If energy prices remain this high, then it's probably sustainable. Both are a good play right now. He prefers companies with ability to grow dividends. Energy level will continue to be high, as long as sanctions are in place and that will be for a while. TFSA is a good place to own this. Federal budget next week will probably affect the investment sector, but he can't predict how.
