The timing underscores a pivot from traditional trade to direct foreign investment. Backing the effort, CEOs of BlackRock and Blackstone publicly endorsed Carney’s plan, a point highlighted by Bloomberg, while a Globe and Mail op‑ed warned that a hotel‑ballroom pitch alone won’t fix the structural shortfall.
