First Nations Worry Canada's Push to Be an "Energy Superpower" Will Harm Them
Briefly

Prime Minister Mark Carney, following his recent election win, outlined ambitious plans to address a crisis created by U.S. tariffs and threats. He intends to initiate the largest economic transformation since WWII, focusing on infrastructure and energy projects that foster Canadian independence. Carney's government aims to ensure Indigenous communities are consulted about projects impacting their land and rights. Amidst a shift in Canadian national sentiment, support for energy independence has risen, although voices concerned about environmental and Indigenous considerations remain.
