Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow leading trade mission to the U.K., Ireland
TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow will be leading a trade mission to the United Kingdom and Ireland, which she says will focus on supporting economic opportunities for Toronto businesses and workers.
The trip was set to begin Sunday and Chow says she will be accompanied by leaders from Toronto's film industry.
The mayor is scheduled to meet with production companies and broadcasters to encourage Canadian content production through agreements with Ireland and the U.K.
Chow says at a time of 'historic uncertainty,' reliable trade partners have never been more important, adding the trip is part of the city's economic action plan to respond to U.S. tariffs.
The mayor has meetings scheduled with the Ireland-Canada Business Association, Enterprise Ireland executives and the UK-Canada Chamber of Commerce.
She is also scheduled to participate in bilateral meetings with Dublin Lord Mayor Ray McAdam and London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan.

Here's my prediction regarding the (Mitch) Marner trade: He's going to be the next former Leafs player to win a Stanley Cup and bring it back to Toronto, probably next year.

Create Account Laurie Thomas (Good luck to Las Vegas when he vanishes in the playoffs.) KNEE DEEP Re 'Did Carney bend the knee to Trump?' (Postmedia News, July 1): Yes. Liberals spent the last decade seeking new ways to tax Canadians. It wasn't posturing; he was testing taxation abroad to get new money. The man never had an original idea, he just plagiarizes others. In the last six months, (Mark) Carney took a card from (Donald) Trump's deck and it flopped. He stole (Pierre) Poilievre's platform and it worked. He donned Justin (Trudeau)'s jester outfit. We'll be broke, living out of our EVs and with egg on our face when he's through. Lori Crank (Got room for one more?) FISCAL FOLLIES While the cancellation of the DST was a long-awaited event, it does raise a question about the still-missing budget. I imagine the revenue this tax was expected to raise was factored into the calculations of the M.I.A. budget. So, we now have a multibillion-dollar hole blown into our federal finances. Nice work, Carney. Terry Woods Oshawa (Nobody said he was gonna be cheap.) EYE-CATCHING Remember George Costanza when he accidentally sprayed lemon juice in his eye and went around accidentally winking at people? Well, Mark Carney does this, but on purpose. He should think before he winks. This may cause an international incident, Carney may end up losing his job, not that there's anything wrong with that! (Wink.) Terry Toll Campbell's Bay (Sarcasm.
