Poilievre now has undisclosed amounts of money in the Vanguard FTSE Canada Index ETF, as well as in Purpose Bitcoin, a registered Canadian ETF.
The Vanguard ETF consists of investments in dozens of companies, including Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Asset Management.
In a statement to the Star, Lilly said Poilievre does not hold individual stocks in Brookfield, and that he does not control the contents of his ETFs.
Holding an ETF that includes Brookfield doesn’t seem like a conflict of interest beyond holding shares in general.
There are lots of reasons to criticise Poilievre and the CPC - this isn’t one of them.
Seriously, people don’t know what an index ETF is.
The headline is inflammatory, and confirms our biases. Nobody’s gonna read it unless they absolutely have to.
I wouldn’t blame an ordinary person for having money in this index ETF, but it is funny that he made a big deal out of it while having money invested in Brooksfield also.
I certainly wouldn’t use it as a point to discredit Poilievre. There are many other ways to do that.
Lol of course he does
Imagine if liberals attacked PP over his previous high profile job… oh wait , he didn’t have a previous job
Every accusation is an admission
Yep…It’s almost getting comical at this point.
It’s like when we were kids and the adults said “don’t point fingers, every time you point one there are three more pointing back at you”.
