End CPP investment in tobacco, doctors demand

The 50,000 member Canadian Medical Association passes a resolution brought to it by family physician and anti-smoking activist Jay Duncan, demanding that our Canada Pension Plan - an important social support for millions of Canadians - divest itself of all tobacco company stocks and 'shocked and angered' Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh agrees.

I wonder how much of their personal wealth outraged Duncan, his doctor buddies who supported the resolution and politician Dosanjh have invested in tobacco company stocks.
