Mark Carney took his push to diversify Canada’s economy away from the US on to the global stage this week, risking a fresh rupture with Donald Trump.

It began on Monday with a pitch to bring foreign cash into the country by offering tax breaks and private investments in Canada’s airports at a kind of “Maple Davos”.
这一行动于周一拉开序幕，卡尼在被称为“枫叶版达沃斯”(Maple Davos)的投资峰会上发表了吸引外资进入加拿大的演讲，承诺提供税收优惠并允许私营部门投资于加拿大的机场。
The government said it raised C$500bn (US$357bn) in new investment largely from Canadian institutions after the summit of about 200 financiers at Toronto’s Four Seasons Hotel, which included the chief executives of BlackRock, Barclays and Singapore’s Temasek. But there were few immediate announcements of new foreign investment.
约200位金融界人士——包括贝莱德(BlackRock)、巴克莱(Barclays)和新加坡淡马锡(Temasek)的首席执行官——出席了在多伦多四季酒店举办的这场峰会。会后，加拿大政府称其吸引到了5000亿加元（合3570亿美元）的新投资，但这些投资主要来自加拿大本国的机构，外国机构基本上没有当场宣布新的投资。
