Foreign Investment
A debate about foreign investment in Canada. The Conservatives claimed that Canada's economy is failing and driving away investment due to Liberal policies. They criticized the Prime Minister's personal investments in the US. The Liberals countered that foreign investment is at record highs, citing examples like Saab partnering with Bombardier and Shell investing $20 billion. Both sides traded talking points but provided few specifics beyond the rhetorical sparring.
“You're missing the point. The Prime Minister keeps most of his money in the US. Does he know he's driving jobs and money out of Canada?”
“The Prime Minister is going to New York. Many investors left Canada for the US. The Prime Minister invests in the US. I think he doesn't really care about Canadian jobs.”
“Canadian money and jobs are going away because our rules are too complicated. The Prime Minister is part of it. When will the Prime Minister make things simpler and stop driving investment away?”
“The Prime Minister is away networking instead of working.”
“The Prime Minister invests outside Canada. He should make Canada a better place to invest.”
“I want to make the Liberals look bad. I say the Prime Minister moved a company to New York. I say that proves he is bad at getting investment. I demand the Liberals fix this.”
