If you have any withholding tax in a cash (taxable) account, because the structure is set up not in Canada, you should be able to claim it back on your tax return. So it's better to have in a taxable account than in a TFSA or RRSP, where you can't claim it back.

Has a very strong pipeline and sees it growing at 28% over the next couple of years. Trading below its five-year average. Has a 62% PR. They tend to bump their distribution 5%-10% every year.

Just hold your nose and buy it.
