While I'm mostly in agreement with the author, this part is really disingenuous for a reason that should be obvious - when you look at "North America's top magnets for foreign investment", you have to realize 90% of North America is a single country, so the remaining 10% has a huge edge when you're sticking to foreign investment as your metric (most of which almost certainly comes from... the aforementioned 90%). Especially that triangle sandwiched between New York State and the Midwest, for proximity/connection reasons. It's a totally unfair metric, either deliberately designed to make Ontario look disproportionally good, or else the author missed it - in both cases that's not flattering for him.
