Canada : A sounder country than The U.S.

Jim Rogers : Well I’ll tell you, my top three at the moment are the U.S. dollar, the Chinese renminbi, and the Hong Kong dollar. Those are the ones I own the most, Hong Kong dollar of course is tied to the U.S. dollar at the moment. The Canadian dollar, I own some Canadian dollars. Canada has been a sounder country than the U.S. for the past 30 years say. No, not 30 years, past 20 years that Canada’s been run more on a sounder basis than the U.S. So I still own some Canadian dollars. They’re certainly down in the last two or three years against the U.S. dollar for a variety of reasons, but I still own Canadian dollars.

Jim Rogers : Canada a Safe Place to store Your Assets

Geoff: So again, back to the other question then, would Canada be a place that you would think would be a safe place to store your assets? Particularly precious metals in this sense?

Jim Rogers : Yes, I would put Canada on a list. Again, Canada has shown great resistance to the U.S. many times in history. I know Europeans who won’t keep their money or their assets in the U.S., they’ll only keep it in Canada, their North American assets, and that’s because during the Second World War, the U.S. confiscated everybody’s assets, including our allies. The Canadians did not confiscate anybody’s assets, including the enemies. So Canada has a long history of being much more neutral, if you will, about peoples’ money and assets. It’s certainly better than the U.S., that’s for sure. - via Sprott Money Ask The Expert  – (March 2015)

Canada is one of the most successful countries in the world

Jim Rogers : Canada is one of the most successful countries in the world because it had a rich neighbor that invested a lot in Canada , and needed a lot of things that Canada had , such as wheat and copper and Oil and Natural Gas and many other things , and cheap labor that's what's happening here china is going to have a lot of successful and rich neighbors because China is going to continue to grow and there are 1.3 billion of them and their per capita income is one tenth may be even less than that of an American , so as they grow and become more prosperous the demand for everything is going to go through the roof and all those people who are next door they are going to make fortunes because their neighbor is going to make fortunes and they have a lot of what their neighbor needs - in The Wall Street Journal - Sept 15, 2011

Canada offers better investment opportunities than the U.S

Jim Rogers : One of the reasons for their (Canada ) problems was that commodities were cheap, and Canada is a commodity-based economy. So, of course they had huge problems. So did other countries whose economies were driven by commodities. Partly because of those problems, it forced some of the Canadian politicians to wake up.They have now had a balanced budget for, I think, eight years ina row. They have had a trade surplus for ten years in a row. And now of course, they have the bull market in commodities at their back. Because of the great long-term commodity outlook, as well as some other reasons, Canada offers better investment opportunities than the U.S - Jim Rogers interviewed by Peter Schiff of Europacific Capital
