Story summary
Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting the first-ever Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, aiming to attract $1 trillion in investments over five years across various sectors like energy, infrastructure, and technology. The summit, which began on September 14, 2026, has attracted global investors including Larry Fink from BlackRock and Jon Gray from Blackstone. However, the event faces challenges such as security concerns due to overlapping protests and other major city events. Protests are planned by labor unions, Indigenous leaders, and climate advocates who criticize Carney's approach to economic development and warn about exacerbating global crises. Despite these obstacles, Canadian premiers and cabinet members will pitch projects during the two-day summit to demonstrate opportunities for foreign investment amid increasing trade tensions with the United States.
