First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strategic position in the critical minerals sector amid recent U.S. tariff discussions. Speaking from the Canadian Consulate in New York during a critical minerals conference, Passalacqua emphasized Canada's unique advantage in mining high-quality phosphate, an essential component for lithium-ion batteries. Passalacqua explained that First Phosphate's operations in Quebec provide a non-relocatable critical resource. He noted that secondary processing—such as phosphoric acid production—must remain close to the source to maintain operational efficiency. He suggested that potential U.S. tariffs could further stimulate investment into Canada's mining sector, accelerating major projects and infrastructure development. Addressing regulatory challenges, Passalacqua pointed out that economic pressures might compel the Canadian government to fast-track approvals and reduce red tape, benefiting large-scale mining projects like First Phosphate's. He also highlighted the importance of domestic investment from pension funds and financial institutions, which could strengthen Canada's leadership in the critical minerals market. “Canada has to start investing in its own projects,” Passalacqua stated, emphasizing that mining and infrastructure initiatives are vital for the country's economic stability. He concluded by underscoring Canada's essential role in the global supply chain for critical battery materials. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqb #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #MiningCanada #USATariffs #LithiumBatteries #PhosphateMining #CanadaEconomy #Infrastructure #MiningInvestment #QuebecResources

This week we kick off the first of two episodes focused on Canadian transportation tech and innovation. In this episode, Margaret Cullen, Trade Commissioner for the Canadian Consulate in Florida, joins Paul with Niklas Kviselius, Sr. Manager Innovation Management and New Mobility at TransLink, and Colin Lavery, Chief Growth Officer at Asset Market. On the show, the guests about the planning needed for the tsunami of EVs coming over the next several years and how agencies need to be more proactive in pushing innovation. Colin's focus is on using AI to figure out where EV chargers should be placed around a city and community--and placed with equity and inclusion as key facets of the plan. Niklas, as the head of TransLink's innovation program, is focused on testing new ideas for mobility and making it easier for companies with great ideas to work with TransLink. TransLink's open call for innovation proposals just opened; take a look and your company could be part of the next innovations at TransLink. Last year's winner is to see if the excess energy from braking can be used to power and charge electric vehicles. Read more about that on TransLink's Buzzer Blog Coming up next week we continue our focus on Canadian Tech with Margaret Cullen returning along with Tim Bigwood, General Manager of Trapeze Workforce Management, Jean-Pierre Baracat, Partner and VP at Cysca Technologies, and Brad Cameron, President and CEO of BusPas. Part 2 moves the focus onto safety and how to improve transit systems by tapping into data from bus stops. We'll wrap up Part 2 with a special roundtable discussion with our producer Tris Hussey and regular contributors Mike Bismeyer and Elea Carey talking about tech, innovation, and communicating pilots to your audience.

POLITICO's Ben White caught up with Canada's Minister of Finance, Bill Morneau, at the Canadian Consulate in New York. They discuss the "New NAFTA", or USMCA, and what's at stake for Canada and the U.S.

Today’s guest is Deborah Weintraub, Chief Deputy City Engineer for the Bureau of Engineering in the City of Los Angeles’ Department of Public Works.  Deborah is the first architect and woman to hold the position, and in this role has overseen projects like the LA River Revitalization Master Plan and the 6th Street Viaduct, which is currently under construction.  Through this work, she had made major contributions to the city and its future, applying her architectural background and training to engineering projects large and small.  Her impact on the city we know today, and the city we will experience 30 years from now, is undeniable.  Prior to her time with the City, Deborah also worked in private practice in New York and California, and she gained expertise in sustainability through her work with the Canadian Consulate and Southern California Edison.  Deborah’s career is fascinating because of these varied experiences she's had as an architect, and in each position, she really embraced the impact she could have.
