Gov. Jerry Brown to meet with Mexican president to discuss immigration during trade mission
– canadianbusiness.com
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Jerry Brown travels to Mexico for three days of meetings starting Monday and will discuss immigration in separate sit-downs with President Enrique Pena Nieto and Central American diplomatic and religious leaders.
The governor’s office announced Sunday that Brown will meet privately with Nieto on Monday about topics including immigration. It comes amid a trade mission aimed at increasing direct investments in California, promoting university exchanges and forming environmental partnerships to combat climate change.
The meeting Tuesday with more than a dozen Central American leaders and Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez comes as a surge of unaccompanied young migrants and families mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala have crossed the U.S. border since October.
The trip, organized by the California Chamber of Commerce, includes a delegation of more than 100 state government, business, economic development, investment and policy leaders…

Investors confront busy week for Canadian corporate earnings, key U.S. data

TORONTO – Traders will have plenty to occupy themselves this week as major players in the Canadian gold mining and energy sectors — the two biggest advancers on the Toronto stock market so far this year — are set to report second-quarter results.
The energy sector is ahead about 19 per cent year to date. The gold sector is up 24 per cent, but that’s after being cut in half last year.
Bob Gorman, chief portfolio strategist at TD Waterhouse, says while expectations are high for the energy sector, solid earnings will not necessarily translate into share price advances as “those increased earnings are pretty much baked in the share prices.”
“So unless they really blow the doors off I don‘t think you would see a lot of market movement,” he said.
“And the backdrop here is that the price of oil has gradually been coming off a touch here, not dramatically by any stretch but has been coming off a bit and that may temper some expectations.”
