The economy of Canada is strongly connected with the US economy and the US economy is facing a 32% fall.
The Canadian export of goods and services towards the USA will decrease significantly and this combined with all the lockdowns and negative effects of the pandemic will cause a recession in Canada.I don't think that a recession will make the Canadian currency stronger.
The gold price will never crash,but I too expect a crash in the housing market during the next years.
After the end of the QE if you know what it is the currency will come stronger coz it will go to the hands of few the asset holders.
the less currency is in general circlelation the more sacred it is.
