Canadian Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O'Regan delivered a powerful keynote address at the Canadian Nuclear Association annual conference in Ottawa on February 27, 2020. Minister O'Regan concluded his remarks by saying: "This is real. This is our mission. This is one of the rooms that can do it. And we are the country that can do it. Canada will lead. I believe that."

On Dec. 1, 2019, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe released the following joint statement: "Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick agreed today to work together to explore new, cutting-edge technology in nuclear power generation to provide carbon-free, affordable, reliable, and safe energy, while helping us unlock economic potential across Canada, including rural and remote regions. The three premiers signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), committing to collaborate on the development and deployment of innovative, versatile and scalable nuclear reactors, known as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), in Canada.

"Nuclear power has a lot going for it. It’s carbon-free, can produce huge amounts of power from relatively small amounts of fuel, and once plants are built, they’re heap to run," according this new article in Singularity Hub.

Think tank Third Way has updated its Advanced Nuclear Map for 2019, which charts the progress of advanced nuclear innovation projects across the United States and Canada and includes Terrestrial Energy. "To mitigate the most serious threats posed by climate change, we must get to net-zero carbon emissions as fast, and fairly as possible," according to Third Way, It adds that one of the most promising ways to get there is with advanced nuclear technologies.
