AGP Executive Report
Last update: 14 minutes agoNuclear Strategy Push: Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says Canada wants to build up to 10 new nuclear reactors over the next 15 years, expand Candu exports, and double uranium exports, as a new federal nuclear plan targets a “civilian nuclear renaissance” and a bigger electricity grid by 2050. Inflation Watch: Statistics Canada reports May inflation jumped to 3.2% (above the Bank of Canada’s 1–3% target range), driven again by higher gas prices tied to Iran-war disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, though economists point to easing oil and expect less pressure ahead. Energy Economics Angle: A commentary argues war-driven energy shocks quietly enrich G7 “energy billionaires” while households absorb higher fuel and food costs. Grid & Tech Signals: Ontario signed an MoU to help New York develop and deploy nuclear technologies, while separate coverage highlights growing demand for clean, firm power and the broader nuclear supply-chain push.
