Canada passes law fast-tracking nation building projects to counter Trump
Canada's parliament has passed a landmark bill giving Prime Minister Mark Carney's government new powers to fast-track major national projects.
The One Canadian Economy Act was passed by the Senate on Thursday, and allows the cabinet to streamline approvals processes and bypass certain provisions of federal laws for projects that could boost the economy.
Supporters have argued the legislation is a critical step in reducing Canada's dependence on the United States, amid trade tensions sparked by President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Spoiler alert, the law mirrors trumps policy more than it counters his policy. Disregarding environmental protections and disrespecting first nations rights sounds like a textbook trump move.
I get what you mean, but by "counter" they're talking about countering Trump's attempt to leverage Canada's dependency on the US to destroy our economy — not whether the policies are similar or not.
We can counter trump without acting like him.
