## Resource

Former PM Stephen Harper delivered a bold, sovereignty-focused speech at the Canada Investment Summit, arguing that stepping away from U.S. trade talks was necessary to protect Canada’s independence—even if it means higher costs. Acknowledging the emotional toll of breaking with America’s long-standing partnership, Harper urged Canadians to embrace a new economic identity: a self-reliant, globally competitive energy superpower. He praised Canada’s natural resource wealth and called for faster approvals and regulatory clarity to unlock its full potential. Harper ended with a hopeful vision: a future where Canada leads through collaboration, innovation, and unwavering determination.
