“Canadian patriotism is best expressed through the country’s beer commercials. It is thus unsurprising that the federal government’s first-ever sovereign wealth fund has a name that doubles as a beer-brand tagline: Canada Strong. You can almost see the computer generated beaver cracking open a cold one. What you can’t see is the fund’s mechanics, and that’s by design. Canadian officials have been so coy that one can only assume this is in keeping with tradition—Ottawa and the provinces’ investment/lending agencies are as dark as the blackest of hearts, encased in a ribcage of impenetrable adamantium*.”
