Stephen Harper to deliver closing speech at Carney's Canada Investment Summit

financeSep 13, 202630555

Former prime minister Stephen Harper will deliver the closing speech at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s inaugural Canada Investment Summit in Toronto on Tuesday, a senior government source told the National Post. The summit, Carney’s flagship effort to pitch foreign and domestic investors on Canadian projects, has a government list of more than 160 projects seeking investments from $25 million to hundreds of millions of dollars. Harper, who chairs the Alberta Investment Management Corp and oversees more than $200 billion in assets, speaks to Carney regularly and his participation is intended to signal that attracting foreign capital is a cross-partisan exercise. The two-day summit opens with Carney and features pension investment bodies prominently; John Graham, president and CEO of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, is expected to give a keynote. About 250 invited guests from more than 25 nations are expected to attend, including BlackRock chairman Larry Fink, Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Norway’s Norges Bank Investment Management. A high-level program circulated by the government lists panels on critical minerals, defence, energy, artificial intelligence and frontier technology projects. Harper’s speech will be open to media, which is notable given he has given few open-access speeches since leaving politics.

🇨🇦Canada isn’t waiting for Trump to decide our future. Carney is bringing global investors together for Canada’s first-ever investment summit with a goal of unlocking $1 TRILLION in investment over five years. #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Canadians, I want to be totally wrong, but all I see tells me we are now at war and we can expect an invasion by the spring. If it doesn't happen, please mock me. But if I'm correct, you need to prepare for it now.

Trump wants to weaken Canada's food security saying supply management a 'subsidy.' WRONG; it's an economic program used BECAUSE OF massive American farm subsidies. The American market is volatile with wild price fluctuations; ours, also a higher quality product, is STEADY; supply always = demand.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper took money from Jeffrey Epstein and nobody seems to care. Harper is giving the closing speech at Carney's investment Summit this week. Nobody finds this suspicious? Really?

I've seen too many connections to ignore. I've been calling Carney part of the Epstein class for months.

Most journalists can't seem to imagine that the suppressed Epstein files are not necessarily about sex crimes, but about his links to Mossad and other security services. International political dynamite.

Well when you scrap your climate targets, try to bury reports, try to dismii youth legal challenge on climate, why wouldn't he have Mr. IDU wind down the conference.

Canada needs to open an investigation to Canadian Epstein parasites. The silence on this is deafening.

Carney is hosting hordes of billionaires tomorrow. His loyalty will always be for institutional capital and corporations. The two day summit is just a glorified corporate buyout of public services by the ultra wealthy. Once an investment banker, always an investment banker.

Seriously: how do you think the USA conquers Canada most likely? With a literal invasion? Or by using American capital to buy up our key industries and resources via an 'investment summit'? Carney voters don't want to hear this: But he's doing more to help Trump conquer Canada than anyone

As Mark Carney pitches Canada to the world’s top investors, billions of dollars are on the line. But will the Prime Minister’s Canada Investment Summit be enough to actually seal the deals? Here's the inside scoop on the high-stakes event. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

The answer is of course YES.

You don't throw a high profile event like this without having secured a few deals in advance to announce.

Reframe: is it up to PM DrMC to ‘close’; he set the table, established the connections, welcomed the potential investors, used his global good will. Now it is time for Canada, project proponents, Premiers, fully developed projects and interpersonal relationship building speak. This is on Canada. 🇨🇦

For those who continue to stick their heads in the sand, the Liberal name will end up being decimated once Carney is done enacting all the Conservative policies and austerity under the red banner. Stephen Harper must be so proud of what he had betted on, for Carney and Poilievre.
