Under the guise of ‘belt tightening’, Canada has turned down an invitation to attend Expo 2012 in South Korea. Or, is it a case we simply can’t we afford it as the Globe intimates in its headline? You know, our fabulous economy under the Conservatives and all. (Emphasis mine.)
Mr. Sinclair said he finds the decision counterproductive at a time when Canada is negotiating a free-trade deal with South Korea and working to improve trade ties with Asian countries.
“It seemed to me inconceivable that Canada would not go into the Asian show where all our major players are,” he said.
Canada and Greece are the only two countries to decline Expo 2012 invitations for economic reasons.
Or, is something else in play here with our fine Conservative government? James Moore knows this is South Korea, right?
