Protesters voice concern over privatization as Carney's investment summit kicks off
A coalition of advocates representing workers and civil society gathered outside of city hall Monday to voice their concerns about foreign investment ahead of a summit organized by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Ottawa is hosting Canada's inaugural national investment summit, where Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing for foreign investment to reach $1 trillion within five years. Indigenous leaders and environmental groups have protested the event, arguing it aligns with Carney's agenda. Indigenous leader Na'Moks contends the prime minister is coercing Canadians into supporting projects, warning that these initiatives will not proceed without public and indigenous backing.
Kai Nagata of the environmental group Dogwood B.C. contends that every piece of Canada sold to American billionaires is a step towards U.S. annexation.
