Amid ‘Buy Canadian’ fervour, Canada’s top pension funds still heavily invested in U.S.

For all the fear over the U.S. trade war and President Donald Trump’s threats to Canadian sovereignty, this country’s biggest pension funds remain heavily invested in the U.S.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP), the largest pension fund in the country, announced this week that it has grown to a record $780.7 billion in assets, with 47 per cent invested in the U.S., compared to only 13 per cent in Canada.

That level of U.S. ownership hasn’t budged in the year since Trump retook office, according to third-quarter results released on Friday.

But it gets better … kidding

Canada has officially joined the EU’s loans-for-weapons program

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Canada has now officially joined the European Union’s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) program, which offers loans to member states to invest in defence capabilities.

“The agreement strengthens our collective security, supports the development of key defence capabilities, and gives Canadian industry access to European defence markets while contributing to European and Ukrainian security,” McGuinty said in a statement sent to CBC News.

Canada joined in late 2025 with an upfront participation contribution of about €7.5 million (in 2026) plus an administrative fee of €2.5 million, totaling around €10 million for preferential access.

GOLDSTEIN: The massive carbon footprint of Trudeau’s post-political life

If you want to understand why Justin Trudeau’s climate change policies were more about virtue signalling than actual virtue, look at his life post politics.

Between purchasing a $4.26-million mansion in Montreal’s pricey Outremont borough – an affluent residential area known for its stately Victorian homes – and gallivanting around the world with Katy Perry, Trudeau has become a living postcard of a life of excess consumption that climate change fanatics routinely condemn.

This made-in-Canada ‘psychopath test’ doesn’t work and has no place in courts, major study finds

A made-in-Canada test to detect whether a criminal is a “psychopath” is outdated, unreliable, and a poor predictor of recidivism, says a University of Toronto researcher who is calling for an end to its use in criminal courts.

“We should probably consider a complete moratorium on these types of assessments,” says Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, the lead author of the largest study yet of how psychopathy tests are used in legal settings.
