Question brief28 Sep 2026

Can Canada turn promised capital into built projects?

Not quickly: a named fund taking a new equity stake in a C$1bn-plus Canadian project by 31 October 2027 is 16% likely with a government term, 27% without: 43% together, each our estimate, scored when it resolves.

Strature Exposure · a worked case

Royal Bank of Canada: one edition, read end to end.

The edition assesses 41 changes that can reach RBC: six rules already in force, four comment periods closing within 30 days, and six more dated by 31 Dec 2026.

Restated from the edition’s summary, Strature Exposure, RBC, 28 Sep 2026

The regulations, bills, trade measures, sanctions and policies found for a company where it operates, weighted by where it earns its revenue, with every place not read printed as a gap, each with its official text and the options it opens. Re-issued as an edition.

RBC is the subject of the analysis, not a client. No endorsement by RBC is implied. Figures: edition of 28 Sep 2026, built from public sources.

The reading

Canada alone is more than half of the bank’s revenue, so a Canadian rule carries more weight in its exposure picture than an American one, and one from elsewhere less again.
