Luker, notice that the gov't sucked 19.5 million tax dollars from this Toronto Global initiative , "to attract foreign investment??? And notice the job description below.
"providing superior client services, primarily within the UK market, but other markets may also be focused on as directed by the EVP, Investment Attraction."
===============================================
From Canadian Stimulus Fund letter:
It is important to note that on February 2, 2017, the Provincial and Federal Government approved the "Toronto Global" initiative a private entity established to attract foreign investment solely for the GTA in addition to providing them with $19.5 Million of government funding over the next 3 years allowing them to deliver on their business plan.
As the Fund(canadian stimulus fund) has not and does not require funding from any levels of government, it is truly disturbing that the Ontario Government by its continued delays is preventing much needed investment to Northern Ontario and preventing employment opportunities from being created.
