This is nonsense for two reasons.
1. Tether isn't an investment, it doesn't pay yield, and the only direction it can go is down. It's either worth $1 (it's current value), or $0 (when it falls apart). That's not an investment. At least when I go to Vegas, and put my wallet on black, I can win money.
2. Since when were Canadians unable to... Buy stocks..? Mutual funds? Index funds? REITs? BTC? Degeneratively day-trade options and meme stocks and margined-to-the-neck forex?
