Canada PM admits protestors are an ‘unacceptable’ threat to economy

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is slamming protestors in the nation’s capital city saying they’re an ‘unacceptable’ threat to economy

Ottawa police have warned that “volatile” and “determined” protesters remain in Canada’s capital

Canadian protesters have blocked access to the busiest international crossing in North America in a rally against the nation’s COVID-19 rules.

Ottawa is under a state of emergency as police try to contain the chaos.

A ‘Freedom Convoy’ has disrupted the life of Canada’s capital for 11 days.

It started as a movement against a vaccine mandate for cross-border drivers but has since turned into a rally against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

For city blocks, in the centre of Canada’s capital, massive trucks are parked, many decorated with signs calling for an end to vaccine mandates – and also “Freedom”.

Its estimated 500 trucks are in Ottawa and many have been there for the full 12 days.

Canada’s busiest border crossing, which is a vital trade link between the country and the US has now reopened.

This followers truckers rallying against Canada’s Covid vaccine rules had blocked Ambassador Bridge for a day, bringing traffic to a halt.

The bridge’s closure came the same day as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the protesters of attempting to “blockade our economy”.

The bridge closure was part of ongoing demonstrations in Ottawa, where vehicles have gridlocked the city and prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency.

The protesters say that theirs is a cause all Canadians should applaud.

Ottawa police say they are concerned about the extremist behaviour coming from far-right groups, but Quebec liberal MP say protesters have legitimate concerns.

Nearly 80 criminal investigations have been opened relating to the protests.

Some two dozen arrests have been made so far.

However, with blaring horns and streets shut for almost a fortnight now, many residents of Ottawa see differently and believe the police response is weak.

Demonstrations have spread to other Canadian cities – And around the world there have been rallies of support in Europe, New Zealand’s capital Wellington and Canberra in Australia.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
