## Resource

Former PM Stephen Harper warns Canada to ease its heavy reliance on the U.S. for trade, calling it a necessary step to protect sovereignty—even if it’s tough. He praises Canada’s diverse economy and vast energy resources, urging faster regulatory approvals to turn potential into power. Harper sees this as a chance to reclaim global energy leadership and wants the summit to become a regular platform for building trust and partnerships.
