Line chart of the S&P/TSX Composite, WTI and Brent indexed to 100 at the September 4 close, through October 8.

Oil has run well ahead of the TSX over the period, with Brent about 8% higher and WTI roughly flat, so the Canadian index has not followed crude. On September 15 WTI closed 15.7% above its September 4 level while the TSX fell 2.6% the same day. The last segment is dashed because it shows the 3:53 PM Eastern print on October 8 rather than a closing level.
