A sovereign wealth fund requires surpluses to be run.

This is not a wealth fund at all. This is a debt fund. It doesnt even try to hide the debt that's drowning the federal government.

We are borrowing money to play the stock market.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I heard him speak about it. Borrowing for a slush fund for the projects (probably many of them American) they want to push... which in a way just means another future tax.

Calling it a "sovereign wealth fund" doesn't seem honest at all. (coming from a lifelong Liberal / NDP voter)
