Port of Montreal expansion shows country is ‘building again’, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney broke ground on the long‑planned Port of Montreal expansion, signaling federal backing for major port infrastructure. The project is presented as a step to boost Canada’s independence and resilience in an uncertain global economy, likely supporting regional construction, port operators and logistics firms. Market impact is limited and sector‑specific, improving supply‑chain capacity but unlikely to move broad markets near term.
