What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Norwegian company Bulk is proposing the Leif Erikson project, a 2,800-mile undersea cable. This route would link southern Norway with Newfoundland and Labrador before continuing across Canada toward Montreal, providing a direct transatlantic connection to Europe. The project, which is expected to cost more than $620 million, is designed to bypass American territory entirely.

The proposal is driven by Canada's need to find alternatives to relying on the United States for international data connections, prompted by worsening relations between Washington and Ottawa. The system is designed to support high-capacity data transfers for AI, telecommunications, and large-scale computing operations.
