Stephen Harper to deliver closing speech at Carney's Canada Investment Summit

financeSep 13, 202628626

Former prime minister Stephen Harper will deliver the closing speech at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, the National Post reported. A senior government source confirmed Harper’s long-rumoured participation and said his presence is meant to show attracting foreign capital to Canada is a cross-partisan exercise. The two-day summit Monday and Tuesday is Carney’s flagship event to pitch investors on more than 160 Canadian projects seeking investments ranging from $25 million to hundreds of millions. Pension investors figure prominently: John Graham of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is expected to give a keynote, and guests include BlackRock chairman Larry Fink, Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan, and senior managers from Saudi Arabia’s PIF and Norway’s Norges Bank Investment Management among roughly 250 invitees from more than 25 nations. Harper, who chairs the Alberta Investment Management Corp that manages over $200 billion, speaks to Carney regularly and will make a rare open-to-media address at the summit. Organizers and city officials also face logistical and security challenges because the summit coincides with other major Toronto events, which local coverage says will complicate security planning.

🇨🇦Canada isn’t waiting for Trump to decide our future. Carney is bringing global investors together for Canada’s first-ever investment summit with a goal of unlocking $1 TRILLION in investment over five years. #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Canadians, I want to be totally wrong, but all I see tells me we are now at war and we can expect an invasion by the spring. If it doesn't happen, please mock me. But if I'm correct, you need to prepare for it now.

Trump wants to weaken Canada's food security saying supply management a 'subsidy.' WRONG; it's an economic program used BECAUSE OF massive American farm subsidies. The American market is volatile with wild price fluctuations; ours, also a higher quality product, is STEADY; supply always = demand.

Jean Chretien (who is 92 years old and still shows up) famously told George W. Bush Canada did not support the war in Iraq. Stephen Harper who tried to shame him is nowhere to be found at any of these events. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper took money from Jeffrey Epstein and nobody seems to care. Harper is giving the closing speech at Carney's investment Summit this week. Nobody finds this suspicious? Really?

I've seen too many connections to ignore. I've been calling Carney part of the Epstein class for months.

Seriously: how do you think the USA conquers Canada most likely? With a literal invasion? Or by using American capital to buy up our key industries and resources via an 'investment summit'? Carney voters don't want to hear this: But he's doing more to help Trump conquer Canada than anyone

Carney is hosting hordes of billionaires tomorrow. His loyalty will always be for institutional capital and corporations. The two day summit is just a glorified corporate buyout of public services by the ultra wealthy. Once an investment banker, always an investment banker.

As Mark Carney pitches Canada to the world’s top investors, billions of dollars are on the line. But will the Prime Minister’s Canada Investment Summit be enough to actually seal the deals? Here's the inside scoop on the high-stakes event. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

The answer is of course YES.

You don't throw a high profile event like this without having secured a few deals in advance to announce.

Wanna bet we break records?! Canada is reliable, well educated, rich in resources, with low business investment tax rates. We are stable, with a strong financial sector, and we do not start wars that threaten our economy.

Reframe: is it up to PM DrMC to ‘close’; he set the table, established the connections, welcomed the potential investors, used his global good will. Now it is time for Canada, project proponents, Premiers, fully developed projects and interpersonal relationship building speak. This is on Canada. 🇨🇦
