Senate leaders take the lead in hunt for deal on shutdown and debt limit as clock ticks down
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Racing the calendar and the financial markets, Senate leaders have taken the helm in the search for a deal to end the partial government shutdown and avert a federal default.
“This should be seen as something very positive, even though we don’t have anything done yet, and long ways to go,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Saturday, describing his opening conversation hours earlier with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
“The real conversation that matters now is the one taking place between McConnell and Reid,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.
Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., were also involved in the high-level bargaining.
Sunday marked the 13th day of a federal shutdown that has continued to idle 350,000 government workers, left hundreds of thousands of others working without pay and curtailed everything from veterans’ services to environmental inspections.
More ominously, Thursday drew another day closer, the day the Obama administration has warned the U…

Governor General sharpens government focus in China amid investment concerns
– canadianbusiness.com
OTTAWA – Gov. Gen. David Johnston will serve as the sharp end of a political stick that the Harper government is pointing at China this coming week, amid renewed concern that Chinese investment in Canada is drying up.
Within hours of delivering Wednesday’s throne speech in Ottawa, Johnston will be on a plane bound for the People’s Republic for his first official visit as Governor General. He’s been there about a dozen times already in a long academic career that predated his arrival at Rideau Hall.
Johnston’s China travels will also overlap with visits by two top Conservative cabinet ministers: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver. And it will come just a week after Trade Minister Ed Fast wraps up his fourth visit to China.
Johnston said he will meet with China’s newly-installed leaders, including President Xi Jinping and premier Li Keqiang.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Johnston was upbeat about the prospect of promoting the government’s Asia-focused economic agenda — and pushing the yardsticks forward on four decades of Canada-Sino relations…

World financial leaders see glimmers of hope for economic recovery beyond US debt impasse
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Worries about a possible U.S. debt default cast a pall over weekend meetings of global financial leaders in Washington. But they ended with some hope over signs that the U.S. and European economies are pulling out of long slumps.
During three days of talks revolving around meetings of the 188-nation International Monetary Fund and its sister lending agency, the World Bank, top officials pressed the U.S. to resolve the political impasse over the debt ceiling. The standoff has blocked approval of legislation to increase the government’s borrowing limit before a fast-approaching Thursday deadline.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has warned that he will exhaust his borrowing authority Thursday and the government will face the prospect of defaulting on its debt unless Congress raises the $16.7 trillion borrowing limit.
“We are now five days away from a very dangerous moment,” World Bank President Jim Yong Kim warned at the closing news conference on Saturday…
