editor Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 A newspaper in New Brunswick did an article over the weekend about Houston:http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/trav.../article/480642Houston loves Canadians.Being the headquarters for numerous oil and gas companies, Houston has a lot to do with Canada's oil and gas capital, Calgary, and our commerce capital, Toronto.As a result most of Air Canada's three-times-a-day flights from each Calgary and Toronto are full of mostly corporate travellers."We want to become a leisure destination for Canadians too," says Franz. "We have a year-round warm climate, so it will probably start with business travellers staying for an extra day and golfing or deciding to bring their family with them."

Porchman Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, now Canada needs to move its Consulat General from Dallas to our much more expansive consulate corps. Jax, can you work on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Go Canada! (I grew up in Canada) EDIT: I just realized Porchman mentioned me. Yeah I'll get right on it! Last time I was in Canada, an Vietnamese guy told me he heard Houston was cool, and some medical professionals told me they were impressed by the Medical Center. So certain demographics and people from certain professions definitely know about H-Town. The rest of Canadians unfortunately don't know as much about Houston as much as San Francisco or New York or LA or Chicago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 A newspaper in New Brunswick did an article over the weekend about Houston:http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/trav.../article/480642The article is accurate, I worked with a bunch of Canadians from Alberta, a big oil & gas province. And the University in Calgary supplies Houston with a great deal of geology/ pipeline -related talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, now Canada needs to move its Consulat General from Dallas to our much more expansive consulate corps. Jax, can you work on this?Canada could simply upgrade what it has in Uptown Houston to consulate general. That way Canada has two in Texas.
