Canada to expedite nation building projects to counter Trump
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada’s economy, now faced with Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Carney outlined his plan on Monday after a meeting – described as “very productive” – with the leaders of Canada’s provinces and territories.
“This has been the best meeting we’ve had in 10 years,” Ontario premier Doug Ford told reporters.
Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called “nation building” projects – like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors – and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years’ time.
