Canada-EU Pivot: Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing a “unique alliance” with the EU as the U.S. trade war reshapes Canada’s priorities, with Ursula von der Leyen proposing Canada become the EU’s first “associate member” (a status not in current treaties) and EU diplomats urging Ottawa to focus more on implementing existing deals and boosting defence and critical-minerals cooperation. Investment Drive: At the Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, Carney pitched Canada as a safe haven, targeting C$1T in investment over five years with tax deductions, less red tape, and plans to open Canada’s four largest airports to private investment. Trade War Fallout: Carney acknowledged U.S. ties remain crucial even as tariffs escalate, while analysts warn the real test is whether investor momentum can clear labour, community, environmental, and approval hurdles. Mining & Energy Moves: Purecore Metals is compiling data to refine targets at its Yurchison uranium project in Saskatchewan, and Osisko Metals is spinning out New Brunswick assets into a new critical-minerals vehicle. Business & Jobs: Nissan confirmed a new hybrid model for Europe to be built at its Sunderland plant, supporting thousands of jobs. Food & Tech: Entosystem secured independent verification of greenhouse-gas reductions from its insect-based production system.
