Insurance & Climate Risk: Statistics Canada data show extreme weather is driving up home insurance catastrophe claims (C$8.6B in 2024) and premiums, pushing the Insurance Bureau of Canada to call for a “decisive shift to adaptation” through resilience spending and safer building. Food Security Push: Ottawa’s new national food security strategy targets more domestically processed food (from 70% to 80%) and faster growth in food processing GDP, citing scale and mid-size capital gaps as key bottlenecks. AI Infrastructure Demand: IDC says worldwide server revenue hit $122.6B in Q1 2026, up 30.4% year over year, with AI infrastructure spending still the main driver while supply constraints (DRAM/NAND) limit near-term growth.
