Mark Carney has launched one of Canada’s biggest investment pushes as trade tensions with the Trump administration continue.

At the 2026 Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, global investors managing more than $100 trillion in assets gathered to examine major Canadian projects across energy, critical minerals, technology, infrastructure and other strategic sectors. Canada is targeting $1 trillion in total investment over five years.

The Canadian government also announced nearly C$500 billion in new investment following the summit, alongside a new Productivity Mega Deduction designed to make capital investment significantly more tax-competitive in Canada.

So what does this mean for the Canada–U.S. economic relationship? And could Carney’s strategy reduce Canada’s dependence on the American market?

This video breaks down the Canada Investment Summit, Carney’s economic strategy, Trump’s trade pressure, Canada’s $1 trillion investment target, and the potential implications for North American trade.
