Prime Minister Mark Carney has been busily pitching Canada as a dependable partner as the U.S. proves itself, day by day, to be anything but.
Mr. Carney is aiming very high: make Canada an investment hub and “catalyze” $1-trillion in new investment over the next five years. In a little over a week, the Canada Investment Summit will assemble some of the most powerful investors in the world to sell them on Canada’s vast untapped potential.
