flag Ontario’s $billions-in-subsidies plan for battery plants and nuclear reactors relies on foreign tech, risking long-term economic control.

flag Ontario’s economic strategy, centered on major projects like a battery plant and four small modular reactors funded by billions in subsidies, faces criticism for relying on foreign firms and short-term job creation rather than building export-driven, sustainable manufacturing. flag Key technologies, including nuclear reactors, are owned by U.S.-based GE Vernova Hitachi, leaving Ontario as a customer rather than an innovator. flag Experts warn this approach undermines long-term economic security by limiting control over intellectual property and national industrial strategy, urging a shift toward producing goods for self-sufficiency and global markets.
