Fascinating to hear about the BC investment portfolio. I don’t agree with your comments about marijuana and sex trade (if legal corporate investment) but regardless, how can you invest in a corporate product that you are currently suing? Ethics should be a central point of such a provincial government organization. The weapons trade is another example. Depressing that funds managers are such amoral individuals. I am reminded of a quote by a 1960s advertising executive who was Jewish. The gist of which was, “if the money was right, I would devise campaigns to sell you on the idea that NAZI Airlines were a great airline to fly”.

You're right. My comment about drugs and sex trade was tortured. I was trying to say that, just because something is legally possible and capable of offering a high return, doesn''t mean it is appropriate for investment of public funds. Your example of the advertising agent is better.
