"attract billions of dollars in investments into Canada."
"We're building big things, and the UAE wants to build with us,"
"Carney is selling out our principles - including Canada's commitment to the basic rules of international law and to human rights - to make money,"
"With troubling success, the prime minister is showing that the chance of economic prosperity in Canada and diversifying trade partners comes at the cost of caring for the very lives of others,"
Canada announced a $50 billion (C$70 billion) economic agreement with the United Arab Emirates intended to attract large investments and diversify trade partnerships amid U.S. tariff pressures. Prime Minister Mark Carney promoted the pact during a trip to Abu Dhabi, emphasizing joint construction and investment. Human rights advocates and legal experts criticized the deepening ties as the UAE faces accusations of fueling atrocities in Sudan, including support for a paramilitary group reportedly using Canadian-made weapons in Darfur. Critics argue the deal prioritizes economic gains over commitments to international law and human rights protections.
