    Industrials and resource stocks reinvigorated the TSX on Friday, but the index’s biggest gainer was Martinrea International (TSX:MRE) of consumer discretionary stocks, as it gained 10.2 percent after posting positive first-quarter results. In industrials, Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) picked up 3 percent, while Pembina Pipeline (TSX:PPL) and Enbridge (TSX:ENB) helped push the energy sector forward with gains of 6.2 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively.
