This media shy lawyer-turned financier also owns big stakes in Ensign Energy, Canada's second biggest oil services company, and Penn West, one of Canada's biggest energy trusts. He owns Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, which owns Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort, Nakiska, Stoneham Mountain Resort, Mont-Sainte-Anne, and Kicking Horse Resort. He owns shares of the Calgary Flames hockey team. He owns over 30% of a management and holding company, Jovian Capital Corp.[5] Edwards is Chairman of the Board of Magellan Aerospace Corporation and the majority holder of Magellan Aerospace, owning ~76% of Common Shares."

His business profile looks almost exclusively Canadian to me. Sad to see that the guy who built his fortune ripping finite amounts of resources out of Canada turns tail and runs as soon as they ask for a little more from him.
Hah, which one of you guys edited his wikipedia page?:

"Famed for drafting both Patrik Laine and Jesse Puljujarvi in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft."
