Media is bull$hit
media should be charged and prosecuted for fear mongering and causing a market panic and crash over the coronavirus. 80% of people show no or have very mild symptoms and the death rate of ppl between age 10 and 50 is 0.2%.... if your not 80 years old or you are half way healthy not a thing to worry about. Cant turn on the TV with out having every news channel talking like it's the end of the world... what a joke

No doubt! Did everyone in the world stop using cannabis too? Looks like it, FFS! You'd think there was a virus killing weed plants or something!

I'm seriously considering an RRSP load this year. Some bargains to be had for sure... include VIVO.

This could be the year I use up that $50K unused contribution room too!

Just make sure your income will allow you to use the full deductable or using RRSP room will be wasted.

First Canadian COVID-19 death recorded in B.C., health officials say "The man was in his 80s and had a number of underlying health issues." Everybody panic now!!
