I'm telling you guys, call Amazon and the FBI and make sure this is on the up and up. My prediction is that this HQ goes to Canada. They've been talking about it off and on on CBC already, as if it's in the bag. If they do move North, you can thank the Canadian security apparatus for this one.
They recently added 200 warehouse jobs here, but this is entirely different. Maybe this will influence Trump and his economic advisers to understand the threat of tariff-less trade with socialist countries. Capitalist countries, based on Rule of Law, Due Process and liberty are a different story, socialist countries do not play by free market rules.
If you think Seattle is left wing, what do you think, Canada and Ontario are? LOL. Someone will get their palms greased. Say bye bye to 50,000 U.S jobs. This will not bode well even for the Democrats if it happens.
Amazon wants a second North American HQ and Toronto is applying for it
The company is asking local and state governments, including ones in Canada, to submit proposals for a development that will likely cost more than US$5 billion over the next 15 to 17 years and give the winning city or town an enormous economic boost. Amazon is already one of the biggest employers in Seattle and expects the new headquarters to house as many as 50,000 workers, many of them new hires.
Cities have until next month to apply through a special website, and the company said it will make a final decision next year.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said in a statement Thursday that city staff plan to put together a bid.
“I firmly believe that Toronto is a prime candidate to host Amazon’s second headquarters in North America,” Mayor John Tory told CBC News in a statement, citing the “bold, innovative” city’s technology talent.
