Notes for Remarks by Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak to the Toronto Board of Trade, February 13, 2013
Being elected MPP eighteen years ago afforded me many new opportunities, including the opportunity to spend a lot of time in this great city.There are so many things that are so very right about Toronto. The four instruments of change – culture, academics, politics, and economics – are consolidated here.
We’re a hub for academia and innovation – host to teaching hospitals, bio-tech companies and three of Ontario’s universities.
We house Canada’s banks, national corporate headquarters and stock exchange.
We have one of the largest major media markets in the western world with four major daily newspapers…A good or a bad thing, depending on which day you ask me.
And we border some of the great North American markets – natural trading partners with millions of consumers and a demand for our goods, services and technology.
Yet for all these great strengths, our city and our province are falling farther behind.
