How a little known bank is trying to build big things in Canada

The Canada Infrastructure Bank has been around since 2017, and originally it was meant to help build huge infrastructure across the country. In fact, one person involved in its launch promised you’d be able to see some of the infrastructure from space. But those massive projects never materialized and that put the whole bank at peril until it changed course recently. Adam Radwanski, who covers climate policy for The Globe and Mail, explains how this bank is trying to change its reputation and what likely will happen if it doesn’t. Questions? Comments? Ideas?
