    Wonder what would happen if that was sold all at once?

    Canada would take a massive loss on the sale while the private markets and the Federal Reserve casually absorbs the influx of new notes at a discount.

      It would definitely be dumb to let them go all at once. You’d want to dovest carefully. Or do some bond swaps, perhaps. Exchange some for euros or yuan.
