This was previously expected to go to the US. But, with Trump showing an inability to keep international commitments, and Carney showing Canada's economic strength - this is a big win for the Canadians.

PM Carney on Canada being chosen to host multinational defence bank: "It's a testament to Canada's reputation, Canada's commitment, Canada's financial expertise, and our sense of innovation and partnership that we work with other countries."

@stevenmackinnon Pierre Poilievre and his buddys are against anything Carney says even though most of it was on the Pierre Poilievre wish list and promised he would deliver but Carney beat him to it. Now Pierre is stuck with a fight for plastic straws and plastic bags at Superstore. Too funny.

Avec la Loi canadienne sur les lancements spatiaux (C-28), nous veillons à ce que le Canada soit prêt pour l’avenir. Nous nous dotons de capacités de lancement souveraines. 🚀

The stuff of science fiction? Speaking at CNBC's CONVERGE LIVE, Voyager CEO Dylan Taylor says our capability to launch heavy lift rockets unlocks the possibility for humans to live — and even work — on the moon as soon as the 2030s.

CANADA HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO HOST A NEW MULTINATIONAL DEFENCE BANK — THE GLOBE AND MAIL.

Nova Scotia is back in the offshore oil and gas business. And this is not just talk. It is real investment in Nova Scotia’s offshore. Inceptio Oil and Gas, led by Nova Scotian James Edens, has stepped forward with bids on two parcels in the latest call for bids. They believe in Nova Scotia. And they’re willing to invest more than $210 million. Mr. Edens is a proven executive in the global oil and gas industry. When someone with that level of experience and access to capital chooses Nova Scotia, the world notices. A bid is not just a number. It is a commitment to spend that amount of money exploring those parcels. It will be invested in seismic work and offshore exploration activity. It means more Nova Scotians working in oil and gas and fewer of them doing it while raising their families two weeks on, two weeks off. All of this means hope for families. It can also lead to revenue for the government, which means more to invest in doctors and healthcare, teachers and schools, roads, rinks and communities. Just as important, these bids were independently reviewed and vetted by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator. That means they have gone through a credible, arm’s-length regulatory process and met the standard required to move forward. We have worked hard to restore confidence in our offshore. We have pushed to put Nova Scotia back into the global energy conversation, and with today’s news we see that we are doing just that. Companies are noticing. These are real results. And momentum is building. Nova Scotia is on the path to becoming more self-sufficient, relying less on the United States for energy, and on transfer payments into our province. Here is the truth: Before the world believes in Nova Scotia, Nova Scotians themselves have to believe in Nova Scotia. Mr. Edens has proven that he does. We have been here before. The Sable Offshore Energy Project and Deep Panuke Offshore Gas Project helped generate billions in economic activity, billions in revenue to the Province, and thousands of jobs for Nova Scotians. This money paid for hospitals, roads, rural internet and the social services we depend on. We proved we can build, operate and responsibly manage offshore energy at scale. That was not the peak. It was a preview. Across our entire offshore margin, we believe there is the potential for 148 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 49 billion barrels of oil. That is the scale of the opportunity in front of us, across a number of other parcels that are still or yet to come out for bid on the energy market. All of it is potentially good news for you, your family and your community. We’ll continue working with industry to secure future bids. We’ll continue to promote our offshore wind and onshore natural gas resources. And we’ll continue to work hard to find new opportunities that strengthen our energy security, reliability, and economic benefits to Nova Scotians.

📰 The Hill Times: Canadian satellite firms say they’re looking forward to launching from home soil under Bill C-28: The Canadian Space Launch Act, introduced on April 21, would amend the country’s regulatory framework to allow for 'sovereign space launch capabilities.'hilltimes.com/2026/04/24/can…

This legislation is exactly how Canada builds sovereign launch capability, strengthens national security, and supports our allies through NATO STARLIFT. 🌎🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

Inspired by Jeremy Hansen’s moon mission, Mark Carney’s Liberal government is moving to give Canada the ability to launch rockets into space from its own soil. Canada is hoping to launch rockets into space in the next 2-3 years subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026/0…

With the introduction of the Canadian Space Launch Act (Bill C-28), 🇨🇦 can modernize its launch framework to allow orbital missions. For @maritimelaunch, it means we can fully unlock Spaceport Nova Scotia as a gateway to orbit. Earlier this week, CEO @maritimelaunch shared more about the importance of this legislation with Rob Fai: 👂🏽 bit.ly/4tBXLVf

But this is more than the launch infrastructure we are building at Spaceport Nova Scotia. It’s about building and retaining talent. Canada produces exceptional students and engineers, but too often they leave to work in the space sector elsewhere. With this legislation, they can stay. To build. And lead. 🚀🇨🇦🛰️ 👩‍🚀👨🏽‍🚀

This is humanity's biggest proposal. Elmo wants 100TW of space-based solar compute. He even tied his pay to this number. That's 11x more than the entire global grid (9TW). Revenue: $1+ quadrillion/yr. Fellow Cdn🇨🇦 builders, take your current ambition level and 1,000x it.

@stevenmackinnon This is a historic moment for Canada to get in the game. Trillions will be up for grabs in the Space Economy. Sitting on the sidelines and asking the US for help is not an option. Canada has the right stuff. $MDA $MAXQ $TSAT 🚀
