Absolute Software Corporation (ABST.TO) soared 9.25%. Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU.TO), goeasy (GSY.TO), Loblaw Companies (L.TO), Dollarama (DOL.TO), Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC.A.TO), Precision Drilling Corporation (PD.TO) and Colliers International Group Inc (CIGI.TO) gained 1 to 2.5%.

Mullen Group (MTL.TO) plunged 8.65%. First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO) drifted down 6.1%. Cogeco Communications (CCA.TO), Cogeco Inc (CGO.TO) and SNC-Lavalin Group (SNC.TO) lost 4.52%, 4.2% and 3.8%, respectively.

Teck Resources (TECK.B.TO), Aritzia Inc (ATZ.TO) and Bombardier Inc (BBD.B.TO) also ended sharply lower.
