Jim Watson should be treated the same as a horse thief.
On November 16, 2015, Watson lead an economic mission to China and Thailand with hopes of promoting Ottawa as a leading innovation hub in Canada, to draw investment for Ottawa businesses, and to encourage tourism to the nation’s capital. Watson and fifteen local business leader began the mission in Beijing, Ottawa’s only sister city, where he signed an “Exchange and Co-operation Agreement” with Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong, establishing key common goals in business, trade, and municipal administration. The agreement states the mutual support of local enterprises to invest in each other’s cities, as well as enhanced co-operation in the high-tech industry.
