Canada's Climate Economy Left Out of Investment Summit

The Better Ideas Show is a unique livestream that will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, and advocates to build Canada's clean climate economy. Hosted by The Energy Mix on September 14-15 in Toronto, the event coincides with Prime Minister Mark Carney's Canada Investment Summit.

Carney has invited 100 to 150 of the world's biggest investors to the summit, but some critics argue that this guest list may leave out promising climate economy projects. These projects are practical, affordable, and ready to scale, but they lack the minimum $200 million value required for investment at the summit.

Through a series of news interviews, The Energy Mix aims to spotlight these projects and policies that can actually build the nation rather than driving it apart. They will also highlight the importance of diversifying Canada's trade and attracting investment from around the globe.

The event comes amid growing tensions between Canada and the US, with President Trump's executive order declaring Lake Ontario as 'Lake America'. This move is seen as a threat to Canada's sovereignty and a bid to assert American control over the Great Lakes. The Energy Mix notes that the name change is not just symbolic but also has serious implications for the region's water management.
