Notice Vic's visit to UK, France, Germany this week?

Considering that back in Feb of this year: it was written" Europeans scramble to reduce their military dependence on America"

"Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has called for British defense spending to be “decisively” increased over the next decade to help protect the country from possible changes to the global balance of power"

Ontario Promotes its Open for Business, Open for Jobs Approach to Investors in Europe

Minister of Finance Showcases Ontario as Strong Destination for Investment

TORONTO — Vic Fedeli, Minister of Finance, has completed a successful week-long investor relations tour of the U.K., France and Germany, during which the messages of Ontario's commitment to fiscal responsibility and being open for business and open for jobs were heard loud and clear by international investors and CEOs. 

Minister Fedeli met with business leaders, institutional fixed income investors, financial investors and government officials. He spoke with them about actions Ontario is taking to achieve fiscal sustainability, tackle its debt burden and encourage business investment and growth in the province. As of June 13, 2019, the Province had received $11.5 billion from fixed-income investors, which is well ahead of schedule for the borrowing program and a positive signal for Ontario's investment outlook.
