Canada passes law fast-tracking 'nation building' projects to counter Trump

Canada has passed a law, the One Canadian Economy Act, to fast-track "nation-building" projects amidst trade tensions with the US. The legislation allows the government to streamline approvals for projects like energy corridors and mines. While proponents argue it will boost the economy and remove trade barriers, Indigenous and environmental groups criticize it for potentially stifling opposition voices. The act aims to expedite projects considered to be in the national interest, with the government pledging consultation with Indigenous peoples before proceeding.
