How I built my dividend portfolio…and how you can too
– myownadvisor.ca
Save, invest, prosper with My Own Advisor.Inspired by my friend’s post, which I’ll link to at the end, you might already know from my site I take a two-pronged approach to investing:

The wording means Ottawa could choose to fund projects with the potential to generate revenue for private investors or the government itself _ toll roads or bridges, for instance, such as the Gordie Howe span between Windsor and Detroit, which is being financed with both private and public money.
“If in fact a vehicle like the bank can enable projects like that to go ahead more readily, then I think that’s positive,” said Mark Romoff, president and CEO of the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships…
