TORONTO NEEDS TO CHANGE ...FAST

More evidence that Toronto is being left behind in the global race for talent: a new study reveals that expats, those Torontonians who have left, think of Toronto as a mediocre city without much influence in the world. This is quite troublesome, because the Canadian government advertises its policies to "attract the best and the brightest" ( not really, but anyway) but instead we have created a mediocre metropolis without energy or the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. This needs to change immediately, and it should start with our immigration policy, getting away from the naivete that permeates it and adopting a business-like approach to get serious, committed business people who will bring capital and innovation to the city, rather than treating immigration as a social welfare program that only imposes costs on taxpayers.
