Despite 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 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.
