Bill C-5 is a lot of nodding and 'trust me' type arguments that get made by a liberal party that's designed the legislation to be 'reviewed' after 5 years, meaning its highly likely that it'll get used by another party - which could happen quite quickly even, given the minority govt status. Also, for its nation building projects clauses, ask yourself whose rights/interests are getting suppressed, and which nation owns the businesses that will be building those projects. It's generally American owned / head quartered companies, getting assurances that the pesky locals rights won't get in the way, from our own government. It is quite explicitly selling us out to foreign business interests.
Like even the reactors that Ontario (in partnership with a couple other provinces, I think) is building, are American made from GE and rely on Uranium that we ship down to the USA, they then enrich it and ship it back to us to power those plants. Or the Avro Arrow that Ford trumpets all the time, which was always a concept car / "platform" to sell component contracts to foreign companies. They put cheaper EV's for everyone in Canada on hold, because Ford wanted to try and appease American car dealers. They're aggressively pushing things like OpenBanking, even though practically every Canadian financial institution is outsourcing that functionality outside the country (even most "local" CUs now have their websites hosted by an Indian company) -- some even "disclose" all their member information to India/US-based AI companies, because I guess there's a low risk of it being regulated by the Carney govt: he's very bullish on trusting big tech to be country agnostic, despite countless examples to the contrary. Suppressing privacy rights would be an easy way to green light large government AI integration, particularly with foreign company involvement/control. These things are not nation building, nor are pipelines owned by US interests. But those are the sorts of 'projects' that this kind of legislation will most likely target.
