U.S. travel ban a factor

Uncertainty created by proposed travel bans sought by the Trump administration is also a factor for some companies.

Nenshi said some officials said this week they're unconcerned by what they see as temporary measures, while others are quite worried.

"There are companies that fundamentally believe that their business model in the United States is at risk and they need to get ahead of the curve and think about maybe Canada as a place for what they call near-shoring.So the spectrum is very, very, very wide on this," said Nenshi.

This week's trade mission has wrapped up. But Moran said this won't be CED's last trip to northern California trying to convince companies to open an office in Calgary.

"We're going to be back here several times this year and I know that we'll have more yes's during the year, for sure," said Moran.

Thanks Donald Trump??
