Carney’s $60B Bet on Canada’s Future

What happened:
Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled the first five major infrastructure projects that will fall under Ottawa’s new Major Projects Office — a national effort to fast-track “nation-building” projects. Together, the initial projects represent more than $60 billion in investment across energy, logistics, and critical minerals.

The list includes:

• LNG Canada Phase 2 (B.C.): Doubling LNG output, aiming to become the world’s second-largest facility of its kind.
• Darlington SMR Project (Ontario): Canada’s first small modular nuclear reactor, projected to power over 1 million homes long-term.
• Port of Montréal Expansion (Québec): A 60% capacity boost to strengthen supply chains and increase Eastern export volume.
• McIlvenna Bay (Sask.): A critical minerals copper-zinc mine, positioned as Canada’s first net-zero copper project.
• Red Chris Mine Expansion (B.C.): A copper-gold mine with reduced emissions and strong Indigenous partnerships.

Why it matters:
The projects are part of a larger strategy to increase Canada’s economic independence, reduce U.S. trade reliance, and stake a global claim in energy and mineral supply chains. The new Major Projects Office promises a faster approval process and stronger collaboration with provinces and Indigenous communities — a shift that could reshape how infrastructure gets built in this country.

Bottom line:
This isn’t just an infrastructure plan. It’s a blueprint for Canada’s industrial future — one focused on clean energy, trade diversification, and strategic autonomy.

Bitcoin Climbs as Miners Hold and Hash Power Hits Record High

What happened:
Bitcoin rallied to over $115,000 this week, boosted by a sharp shift in miner behavior and historic strength in its network fundamentals. Instead of selling into recent gains, miners have been accumulating and holding — a trend confirmed by a steep decline in BTC deposits to exchanges like Binance. At the same time, Bitcoin’s hash rate surged to an all-time high of 1.12 billion TH/s, signaling rising investment and competition among miners.

Why it matters:
With miners holding onto supply and network security stronger than ever, selling pressure has cooled. This supply squeeze, paired with optimism around Fed rate cuts and strong equity markets, is fueling renewed bullish sentiment. Analysts suggest this behavior mirrors early accumulation patterns seen before previous bull runs.

Bottom line:
Bitcoin’s fundamentals are flashing green. With fewer sellers, rising hashrates, and accumulating whales, the market appears to be setting up for a fresh upward leg.
