US President Donald Trump's back-and-forth tariff threats are galvanizing an 'invest in Canada' movement that's prodding pensions to keep more of their cash at home.
The country's biggest pensions, known as the Maple Eight, oversee roughly C$2.3 trillion ($1.6 trillion), about a quarter of which is invested in Canada, according to Bloomberg calculations. Many Canadian politicians and business people aim to make that portion grow much larger — putting further pressure on the country's pension model.
