I've come to the conclusion that we are crazy Canadians investing in anything in Canada. It is a good place to live. But borders on Communism where one is not to get ahead unless he is connected. The only real successful in Canada are by Family, or political. Basically you have to live in Ottawa, or come from Quebec. Why I just heard that Quebecers are allowed 35% foreign ownership in an RRSP ANd ALSO OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THIS. Also if you live in Quebec and invest in their MSE there is some provision for a personal tax break that we in the rest of the country are not allowed. It irks me as I believe a bulk of the money Quebec steals from Ottawa thru their I"M going to leave Manta has been put to great wealth creation in the markets--What I'm alluding to is the Quebec Pension fund. Called the Depot du something.
