The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that at a time when the Canadian economy feels like it's under siege, the Toronto Stock Exchange serves as a powerful counternarrative. The Globe's Tim Shufelt writes that over the past two years, the Canadian stock market has gained nearly 55 per cent, after factoring in inflation. That ranks among the very best two-year stock rallies in history, such as the dot-com boom of the 1990s and the rebound from the global financial crisis beginning in 2009. Among the recent winners is Bombardier -- a company that, like the auto industry, found itself in Mr. Trump's crosshairs. As a global, trade-exposed brand, Bombardier's business model is not especially well suited to tariffs in general. But then Mr. Trump called out Bombardier by name, threatening to decertify its Global Express business jets, while suggesting he could also slap 50-per-cent tariffs on Canadian-made aircraft. He backed down, as either move would have been highly disruptive to the aerospace supply chain. Ultimately, Bombardier's rise as a private aviation pure play would not be denied. Its shares have tripled over the past two years as a generational shift in aerospace and defence spending has taken shape.
