As promised on his campaign trail, Canada PM Carney is quickly 'Trump-proofing' Canada. Before the recent NATO Summit in the Netherlands and Canada Day (1 July), PM Carney joined the EU Rearm Europe program, which excludes the US. Canadian funds and resources will now be diverted away from US defense contracts. Canada, as part of its NATO obligations, is also increasing its defense spending. In addition, PM Carney fast-tracked the nations-building projects bill' through Parliament and the Senate, designed to reduce dependence on the US economy. The timing also upholds PM Mark Carney's promise to have all federal internal trade barriers removed by Canada Day. PM Carney also had established a Ministry for AI and Digital Innovation to streamline government programs and cut costs. Link: Globalnews.ca.
