🇨🇦 Ottawa lends $20 million so a gold mine can cosplay as green

The Canadian Infrastructure Bank just closed a $20-million loan for a Nunavut wind project serving Agnico Eagle’s Hope Bay mine, as reported. That is the Trudeau-era model in one neat little package: taxpayer-backed finance, northern optics, ESG applause, and a Crown corporation pretending corporate energy bills are nation-building. If the project is so commercially brilliant, a major mining company can fund it without Ottawa playing venture capitalist with public money.

And notice the real tell: this is not about Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic, reliable power for communities, or serious industrial strategy. It is about laundering resource extraction through the green catechism so bureaucrats and consultants can clap for themselves. Canada sits on immense oil, gas and mineral wealth, yet our ruling class would rather subsidize climate branding than build cheap energy, hard infrastructure, and actual northern capacity. In globalist Ottawa, symbolism always gets funded first, while national interest waits outside in the cold.
