‘Everything is at stake’ for Canada in the U.S. election, says N.J. governor

Phil Murphy, New Jersey’s two-time Democratic governor and president of the Democratic Governors Association, is currently in Canada to talk trade with the provinces and promote his state’s film industry at the Toronto International Film Festival. While he’s north of the border, he’s also stumping for his party’s presidential candidate, U.S. Vice-President Harris, and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, arguing the U.S. will be a stronger trade partner to Canada with them at the helm.

Economic development dance: Trying to get business — without stealing businesses

Wes Mathews, the CEO of Choose New Jersey, said there is a certain sensitivity that comes on mission trips — or any discussion with companies. “We don’t hard-sell anybody, that’s not our ethos and never has been,” he said. “We just feel we have a really good product to sell in terms of New Jersey, and pick our partners based on that.” Mathews said the governor’s previous mission trips — to Germany, Ireland, Israel, India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan — prove the point.
