      Prospectus for Carney’s summit highlights more than 160 projects open for investment

      Officials organizing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ([url]https://www.theglobeandmail.com/topics/mark-carney/[/url]) showcase Canada Investment Summit have identified more than 160 projects in various stages of development that are open for investment, including a proposed $10.9-billion high-speed rail link between Edmonton and Calgary and a planned $57-billion Port of Churchill expansion project.
      A 66-page “prospectus” booklet, reviewed by The Globe and Mail, was shared Wednesday with summit attendees ahead of the Sept. 14-15 event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. It is framed as “a snapshot of the diverse opportunities available across multiple asset classes, sectors and stages of development.”
      The summit, led by Mr. Carney and co-hosted by major Canadian pension funds, is expected to draw some 300 CEOs and senior executives from many of the world’s largest global investment organizations. As Ottawa looks to expand its trade ([url]https://www.theglobeandmail.com/topics/trade-and-commerce/[/url]) ties to soften the blow from an expanding tariff war with the United States, the event will pitch Canada as an attractive, stable place to invest in an attempt to bring in at least $500-billion in new private-sector capital over five years.
      There are eight categories of proposed projects, spread across the country: conventional energy, clean energy, minerals and metals, marine and port infrastructure, power and utilities, digital technology, advanced manufacturing and transportation.
      The document is the first detailed look at an array of investment opportunities that Mr. Carney and Canadian chief executives will present to major global investors next week. It offers a sample list of concrete ways to invest in the country over the coming years and a signal about the priority industries and types of projects Ottawa expects to highlight.

      Everything we know about Carney’s investment summit ([url]https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-everything-we-know-about-carneys-investment-summit/[/url])
      Most of the prospectus is devoted to energy and resources, with 11 conventional oil and gas projects, 31 clean energy proposals, and a sprawling mining section listing 63 minerals and metals opportunities.
      It is not, however, a comprehensive list of what will be on offer at the summit. Some of the projects are in advanced stages and listed as “shovel-ready.” Others are far more aspirational.
      It includes mega-projects such as the Wind West offshore wind and transmission initiative proposed in Nova Scotia, which is pegged at $44-billion, side by side with much smaller proposals ranging from about $35-million to approximately $200-million. Many large asset managers don’t have the capacity to consider smaller-scale investment proposals.
      And now in the infamous words of Paul Harvey, here is the rest of the story:
      [url]www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/carney-wants-to-catalyze-investment-by-deploying-capital-from-parliament-hill[/url].
      So long and short of it Carney thinks he is smarter than the market and he can get back the $500 billion that left Canada under Justin Trudeau by investing $280 billion of Canadian taxpayer money in projects he chooses, therefore hoping to draw in foreign private investment. A good read but Carney’s plan has little to do with private investment!!!

          One interesting thought.
          Ottawa has been getting political mileage out of Churchill for 103 years.

                Poilievere has a dismal resume and little credibility with the business community compared with Carney's world class resume and experience.

                But PP is good at yapping out slogans and one liners that the small conservative base likes to hear.

                So before you decide Carney won't be successful in a multiyear effort maybe give him the benefit of the doubt.

                He has got a lot done and signed a lot of deals improve the investment climate, attract investment and diversify our exports.

                And Smith and Moe are praising his efforts.

                Our canola is going to China again. Did you forget that already?
