RE:Curious for thoughts (except for Auburns) In limited circumstances you can get the dividend tax free and claim the $3 capital loss assuming the $15 and $12 scenario. Get the $3 cash dividend, sell at $15 with an ACB of $18. Eligible dividends up to around $50k attract no tax assuming you have no other income. Consult your handy tax tables for more info.
I'm more curious about the <10% of Westbrick shareholders who haven't signed on to the deal. Is that POU dissenting like they did with Strath?
In any event, more cash for POU and an ongoing interest in the Westbrick Duvernay is a big positive.
