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.
First Nations leaders also have expressed concern about Carney’s plan, saying they fear it will side-step their land and water rights, and have asked for more clarity on how they will be involved.
I’m extremely worried about this plan with regards to indigenous sovereignty. I’m all for a better economy, but Canada has a responsibility to meaningfully consult with indigenous communities that it normally shirks and I’m not convinced it won’t do so here due to the nature of the project (“nation building”).
Well at least Ford won’t somehow fuck this up
LOL keep dreaming.
