Yes. I was in Canadian energy royalty trusts, especially COS.UN, and despite the perfidy of the current PM, my gains in the last five years (as measured in US dollars especially) have been far, far, beyond what anyone my age is supposed to be able to achieve. I have become a philanthropist, giving away more money than I used to make in a salary, helping support charitable causes and artists.
