Bruce Mitchellthe sedar report shows he is from Nepean, Ontario.... on google someone described his background, here it is...
Bruce Mitchell used to be the Ottawa-based manager of the CBC Pension Fund and was one of the most active traders and the biggest commission generator in Canada in the 1980's and 1990's. He is also one of the smartest investors in the country as the return on the CBC Pension fund demonstrated whilst he ran it.
He left CBC sometime in the early 90's to run his own money and also has a very large real estate portfolio scattered over Canada.
He currently has large positions in Canlan Ice Sports and recently undertook a stink bid Offering for units of the cease-traded Infinity Income Fund which had a huge hidden value which most Unitholders did not appreciate. He also is the largest shareholder in several private corporations, some of which were once distressed TSE companies.
I would never bet against him, though he has not always been right! But;- his record has consistently been more right than wrong.
