Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting a two-day Canada Investment Summit in Toronto starting September 14, 2026, aimed at attracting $1 trillion in investments over five years. The summit includes high-profile attendees like Larry Fink and Jon Gray from BlackRock and Blackstone, respectively, among others managing over C$120 trillion of assets globally. Investors are being pitched on projects spanning energy, infrastructure, technology, and critical minerals sectors. However, protests are planned for the event by groups concerned about climate change, Indigenous rights, and public service impacts. The summit coincides with other high-profile events like the Toronto International Film Festival and a Blue Jays game, complicating security logistics.
