Canada's Liberal government announced a wave of major national projects to boost its economy amid a US trade war. These include an LNG facility expansion, critical mineral mines, a nuclear reactor, and port expansions, totaling C$60 billion in economic impact and creating thousands of jobs. Notably absent are new oil pipelines, a contentious issue. The government aims to fast-track these projects, raising concerns from Indigenous leaders about insufficient consultation. Environmental groups voiced skepticism, criticizing the projects' environmental impact and reliance on fossil fuels.
