Prime Minister Mark Carney will arrive in Warsaw, Poland, on Monday morning (their local time).
He will meet with the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, and the two will deliver a brief statement at 12 noon.
In the afternoon, Carney will participate in a roundtable discussion with business leaders from the energy industry.
The political strategy of The Coalition of the Willing and western democracies overall is to continue curtailing the fossil fuel energy economy of Russia as part of supporting Ukraine to win the Russian war invasion in into their country.
By day’s end, Carney will depart for Berlin, Germany for an upcoming meeting with European leaders. Last week, US President Trump met with Ukraine President Zelenskyy and European leaders in Washington.
Starting this week’s meetings in Ukraine:
Carney was in Ukraine today on their 34th anniversary of independence from the USSR, delivering more details about how Canada’s “additional $2 billion” will be spent on military defence for Ukraine.
This is part of a mission since being elected in April to show (the US in particular) how Canada will meet the 2% NATO target by the end of March 2026.
National projects in Canada:
Carney mentioned last week (August 22 in Ottawa) that he would soon be announcing national economic development projects to support the domestic economy in Canada. It’s about moving Canada “from reliance to resilience”.
Key sectors for those projects include energy, critical minerals, ports and agriculture.
Here in BC, the LNG Canada facility at Kitimat is already shipping LNG to countries across the Pacific.
