Canada Unveils 2026 Budget to Boost Economic Independence and Diversify Exports
Canada unveiled its 2026 budget, titled "Masters of Our Destiny," focusing on economic independence by diversifying exports and strengthening domestic industries amid global trade tensions and U.S. tariffs. The $142 billion plan includes support for American-facing manufacturing, investments in critical mineral infrastructure, clean electrification, and expanding the electricity grid. It aims to reduce reliance on the U.S. by doubling exports to non-U.S. markets by 2035, backing trade diversification, and prioritizing Canadian firms in military contracts, while also addressing affordability and homelessness.
