I expect more easing after the election no matter who wins in the US. This is what this election is all about. Who will get the free money spoils from the Federal Reserve. Expect Canada's currency to keep rising as the US runs massive deficits and exports inflation around the globe.

Just to make sure I understand what you're saying, how would you map each of the possible electoral outcomes to a set of recipients of free money? It seems odd that you would say that, because it seems to me that it doesn't make any difference. If the Republican party scores a general victory, I would expect that bankers and defense contractors would end up with most of the money. If the Democratic party scores a general victory, I would expect government employee unions and tax lawyers to end up with most of the money. Since none of those groups includes me, I fail to understand why I should care about the elections. Please enlighten me.
