Education Levels by Country

...maybe there's a bit of resentment over the Teachers' Pension Fund and the fact they own far too much of the Maple Leafs to make me comfortable.

I don't understand. Why does that make you uncomfortable?

The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan has 154,000 current contributors and 89,000 pensioners in it. It is mandated for them......they cannot opt out of it.

Think of it as a giant mutual fund, that has to find reasonable places to park its money and get a return on it.

Would it bother you to have any other Mutual Fund be a part owner of the Leafs? Would you feel better if it was the University of Toronto endowment fund instead?

Or were you happier when that bastion of uprightness, decency and lack of whining called Harold Ballard owned them outright? :unsure:

As investment choices go, it isn't all that bad. It could have been Enron, or even the Ottawa Senators, eh? And, at least the fund is investing in Ontario. :P Heck, some of those people whose money is tied up in that fund might even be Leafs fans.
