  • 11 Top Canadian Dividend Stocks Available as ADRs [View article]
    Just to clarify something about Canadian energy trusts. They were not created by establishing a tax loophole. The Canadian Govt made a decision to further encourage exploration and development of oil, nat gas, and coal properties that the oil majors were not interested in developing (due to poor economics). This was a wise decision which the current Ottawa Govt has completely forgotten as Canadian reserves have grown over 100% since CANROYs were established. Besides this fact would anyone claim that US REITs were established out of a tax loophole? Don't think so. Loophole is a bogus word in this context.
