** Canada's Shopify Inc SH.TO is making a big push into
one of the nation's hottest tech hubs, announcing plans to add
hundreds of people to its office in Waterloo, Ontario. Chief
Executive Tobias Lutke will be in Waterloo on Thursday to
announce the company's new office space which will house up to

** TransCanada Corp TRP.TO is keeping alive its faint hope
for the Keystone XL pipeline with a long game that could be
re-energized if Republicans win the White House next year. While
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to reject the pipeline

in any of its business areas, not just its rail unit, to ensure

financing options, the sources said, including selling aerospace
or rail assets in full or in part, forming joint ventures or
bringing in private equity investors.
