COUNTDOWN TO THE CUP!!!!

Apparently the video I posted is no longer available. Two weeks until my month long obsession of soccer begins!!! I have already sussed out the local bars that will open at 5 am and that accept kids. Breakfast, footie and then school. How perfect is that???
Hopefully one day, Canada will be in the World Cup. They got thrashed by Argentina 5-0 this weekend...Not good!

Brazil and Canada....Opportunities Abound!

This past Wednesday, I went to a seminar on doing business in Brazil. It was hosted by the Global Centre, an initiative of Calgary Economic Development. The speakers included the Brazilian consul of International Trade from the consulate in Toronto, David Mears of Blackwatch Energy, Fabricio Lima of the Alberta Government and Joey St. Pierre of Export Development of Canada.

Bottom line: BRAZIL NEEDS INFRASTRUCTURE!!!!!! If your company has something unique that is needed in the energy sector, the opportunity is there!
