## Resource

Ottawa is struggling to put tens of billions in foreign investment to work, as a lack of shovel-ready infrastructure projects leaves the UAE’s promised capital sitting on the sidelines and raises questions about whether Canada can actually deliver on its major-projects ambitions. Plus, Nestlé is rethinking snack flavours for the GLP-1 era, as weight-loss drugs reshape how millions of consumers experience taste and push food giants toward spicier, higher-protein, and more fibre-focused products. And in The Big Picture: B.C. prepares to sue OpenAI over the Tumbler Ridge shooting, a jailed Indian gang leader is charged in the Nijjar killing, and NATO eyes Canadian-made Bombardier jets for its next surveillance aircraft order. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
