At his inaugural Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney courted $1 trillion in new investment, roughly equivalent to the amount that fled Canada during the decade that Justin Trudeau was in power, telling investors “Canada has what the world wants” and “Canada will get it built.” Carney announced two concrete measures: privatizing the operation of Canada’s four biggest airports—Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airp—and other steps aimed at catalyzing the targeted $1 trillion over the next five years. Financier Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of Investor AB, which manages a portfolio of roughly $120 billion USD, told The Hub the summit was “extremely well done” and “executed… in a very good way.” A delegation from Beijing-headquartered China International Capital Corporation (CICC), a partially state-owned investment bank with estimated total assets of $145 billion USD late last year, approached Wallenberg for a photo and mentioned having lunch with Carney on Monday. Danish workers’ pension fund ATP CEO Martin Præstegaard praised “the leadership of the country” and said ATP, already invested in Canada’s equity market, is now looking at “some more classical energy investments.” Protesters demonstrated against the summit on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026.
