Carney said something about the principal being protected, akin to a government bond, but has better upside return.

...I dunno man, sounds like it's going to be pretty low yield. Though maybe it'll still be interesting if the capital gains are tax-free or something.

I'm hopeful that the fund will eventually be "fueled" by tax revenue on resources - even a tiny .1% tax on oil, gas, wood, minerals etc would generate a lot of money to grow the fund.

Who here is going to be our chief strategist and analyst to follow and comment on this new fund to drive its policies and to speak to its performance? I'm thinking of nominating BIC_BAWS and dark0821.

If PP introduced this.. i would. Even when Harper was in power he had better chance since he studied economics.
I can't even follow what PP grad from aside from knowing it was at U of A.

For Carney to do this, and the fact he's Canadian, i am a bit more trust worthy. If this was Trump. i woudl run away and never invest in US.
