Here is a recent article noting the heritage fund has doubled in past 5 years: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmon...plus-1.7589162
The Fraser Institute has different figures and says that the next few years are likely more deficit budgets. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/comm...t-smith-budget

And do you think that the Heritage Fund has done well because of anything the government has done, or because the investments have had the tailwind of good markt conditions since 2020?
