Amid deteriorating US-Canada relations, Canada is moving to develop a domestic rocket launch industry, according to an Ars Technica report. The country has long relied on American launch providers for access to space, and growing political friction with Washington is prompting Ottawa to treat sovereign launch capability as a strategic priority rather than a niche scientific ambition.
Why now: Strained US-Canada relations are driving interest in Canada reducing its dependence on American space launch services.
