Alberta finance minister defends debt growth from credit rating agency criticism
– canadianbusiness.com
Alberta’s provincial debt is growing but remains “manageable,” despite criticism from credit rating agencies following last week’s budget, Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci says.
Agencies including Moody’s Investor Service and DBRS Ltd. say they are reviewing the province’s ratings, which are used to determine its cost of borrowing money, because of its growing debt levels.
In a speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning, Ceci says he expects Alberta revenues will grow with its economy over time to reduce the deficits.
“I certainly understand, appreciate the credit rating concerns people have, but I think if we keep care of the fundamentals in this province, which is continuing to move forward, continue to have good governance, continue to be an attractor with low taxes, and promote this province to others, we’ll take care of those other things,” he said.

Trump Winery seeks more foreign workers this season
– canadianbusiness.com
A Virginia winery owned by President Donald Trump’s son has applied to hire foreign workers to pick grapes.
The Daily Progress reports Trump Vineyard Estates, better known as Trump Winery, has asked to bring in 29 workers this season through the federal H-2A visa program.
The Charlottesville-area winery is owned by Eric Trump, whose father has called on businesses to hire Americans.
The H-2A program enables agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labour or other temporary or seasonal services. To apply, employers say they’ve been unable to find American citizens to fill the jobs. At least three other local vineyards also applied to hire foreign workers.
Trump Winery didn’t respond to a request for comment.
