'In his first media conference since his majority win Thursday, the Premier said the economy and job creation will be a prime focus going forward.
'“You have to create the environment for companies to come here and thrive … so we’re going to have the most competitive jurisdiction anywhere in North America and the world because we’re competing against our friends in the U.S., over in Europe, over in South America, over in Asia,” Ford said Friday.
