Carney Targets CA$1 Trillion Investment Push as Canada Summit Gets Underway

06:53 AM EDT, 09/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting Canada's first-ever investment summit in Toronto on Monday, as the country seeks to reduce its reliance on the United States amid the trade war initiated by President Donald Trump. The two-day summit, which starts Monday, aims to attract CA$1 trillion in investment over the next five years, with a focus on infrastructure, energy, critical minerals and nation-building projects. The prime minister's media relations office said late Sunday that Carney will attend the Canada Investment Summit opening gala dinner at 6:30 p.m. ET Monday. The event is closed to media. The summit's slogan is: "Canada has what the world wants. Choose Canada. Invest in Canada."
