Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled a list of “nation-building” energy projects he says will transform Canada into a superpower, though it notably excludes a fossil fuel pipeline — a project that would have won plaudits from President Donald Trump.
Instead, Carney’s plan emphasizes liquefied natural gas, nuclear power and critical minerals as the foundation for economic transformation. Five major projects will anchor Canada’s long-term strategy.
“Now we’re beginning to realize that promise, taking control of our future by thinking big, by acting fast and by building Canada strong,” Carney said Thursday in Edmonton.
The package is central to Carney’s pledge to make Canada an “energy superpower” to strengthen the country’s sagging economy in the face of Trump’s trade war, and to protect Canada in what he says is a more “dangerous and divided world.”
