California’s Salesforce delivers some good news for Justin Trudeau

The cloud-based customer management platform announced a $2 billion, five-year investment on Thursday that’s designed to “fuel the growth of its Canadian business,” according to a company press release.

“One of Canada’s strengths has been our consistent embrace of an open tolerance society, being willing to bring in a talent from around the world,” said Sean Mullin,

“If Canada … builds upon this reputation as a globally open, cosmopolitan society, and layered upon that the great standards of living we have here that, I think, is an ace in the hole for us.”

What a load of bullcrap. A $1.28 dollar is our ace in the hole.

But that being said, good on Salesforce for investing in Canada. We're a great country, and we've been great for a long time.

If this really is a cloud-based company, why would they need to locate to Canada? Watch when they start demanding hundreds of millions in support and tax breaks from Trudeau. Just like Bombadeer, they will grab the money and run. I wouldn't give them a penny in support. They are playing Trudeau when they use words like "diverse" and "accepting". Those are words substituted for illegal migrant "refugees".

Canada is a world leader in the tech industry. One of the largest video game manufactures is located in Burnaby, B.C. and well as the only commercially available working quantum computer manufactures!

spent quite a bit of time in Silicon Valley. We are definitely "Mexico North" to them - cheap labour at a low dollar rate. Makes good sense to utilize our highly skilled people at a big discount. And we have free health care!

Times be a changing, Green, it's the perfect storm of revitalized government investments in Tech, Low Canadian dollar, an access to an abundance of highly educated tech trained personal and universities, and now that Trump has canceled the "Genius" visa has now made this an attractive destination for the worlds smartest individuals seeking to advance their careers! Even the Late, Great, Stephen Hawking worked in Canada!

On average, Canadians are better educated and more tech savvy than Americans. Makes this an attractive area for tech companies to invest in.

Our dollar made the investment a discount, Trump not helping increased the value, company made the decision, PM took the credit.

Glad for the investment, these types are good news, just the PR machine for the PM is gross in the grasping at straws they do after he continually embarrasses our country.

Did any of these companies come to Canada during the Conservative years? Of course, they didn't, harper gaged scientists, destroyed climate records, and cut funding for research.

Canadians kicked the embarrassing jokes out in 2015. The big boys are in charge now!

of course they did. Why does everything have to turn into one of these stupid lie-filled garbage threads about Harper? Just disgusting.

harper gaged scientists, destroyed climate records, and cut funding for research.

Why are you regurgitating lies from 2015? Who cares now. You losers lied your way into a majority and now we are stuck with this brainless idiot of a PM. Great work

Canadians kicked the embarrassing jokes out in 2015.

And now we are stuck with even bigger embarrassing jokes. Sigh.

The big boys are in charge now!

Big = dumber than a bag of hammers. This I will agree with.

You cannot look forward without looking backward. So, it's important to talk about economic, social and environmental policies of both parties to know what to expect moving forward in the 2019 election. I know which party the scientific sector will be voting for!
