The Canadian government is making a strong push to improve the country’s strategic independence. The government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has rallied provincial and business leaders to fast-track infrastructure projects that will make Canada more self-reliant, improve national security and support long-term economic growth. The country wants to become an energy superpower (both for internal consumption and export), improve its export infrastructure, build a strong Arctic presence and boost development of critical mineral resources. Tensions with the U.S. are accelerating these efforts, but the projects address longstanding needs that will persist long after the Trump administration.
