This is from a section of the Jan.24, 2016 editorial by CBC News entitled, " Justin Trudeau Returns from Davos with Good Press, Results to be Determined".

The section of the editorial reads:

.....Will power breakfasts lead to deals?

What Trudeau touted at week's end was investment. It is the potential of lucrative deals for Canadian businesses and workers that is supposed to justify the presence of the prime minister — not to mention another five cabinet ministers — in Davos. Over three and a half days — longer than the two days Harper spent in Davos in 2012 — the prime minister participated in nine bilateral meetings with the leaders of major corporations.

On Thursday, he also sat down for a breakfast and a dinner organized by Dominic Barton, a Canadian who is director of McKinsey, the powerful management consultancy. At dinner were bankers and investors from Hong Kong, Germany, India, Switzerland and Malaysia. Breakfast was had with the chairmen of Mitsubishi and General Electric, as well as Larry Fink of BlackRock, the American investment firm that reportedly manages $4.3 trillion in assets (Fink was number 34 on Forbes magazine's latest list of the world's most powerful people).

As part of the official program on Thursday, Trudeau delivered remarks to a luncheon entitled "A New Chapter for Canada" and then spoke to delegates at a closed session advertised as "A Bold New Beginning for Canada."On Saturday morning, Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada and now the governor of the Bank of England, organized a breakfast for Trudeau that included executives from Goldman Sachs, Unilever, Bloomberg, HSBC, BlackRock, Alibaba and Mark Wiseman of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Trudeau also had an unannounced off-the-record discussion with international media executives, organized by the media subgroup of the World Economic Forum.

"Every year there are themes and this is one of the themes this year, this is one of the strong themes, it's one of the positive stories at Davos," James Smith, chief executive officer at Thomson Reuters, said of Canada after leaving that last session. "There's certainly more interest in Canada than I've seen in the past.".........

Comment:

It would appear that with these recent NRs that our beloved Trudeau has managed to gain the attention of the right people in Davos. The type of people who we need to move our Ring of Fire forward. One just has to take a look at the names of those he brushed shoulders with to guess that our natural resources were a hot topic of interest....Now we wait and see if November holds the sort of promise that we have all been waiting for for so long; patience.
