Canada PM Mark Carney unveiled an array of national projects to turbocharge' the economy as it fends off a trade war with the US. A liquefied natural gas facility, critical mineral mines, a nuclear reactor, and port expansion marks the first wave of major national projects.

"The US is fundamentally and rapidly transforming all of its trading relationships, and the effects are both immediate and profound." read more
