Primary Insight

What Stands Out

  • Energy & midstream are a repeated focus: Keyera Corp. pursues both pipeline ownership (e.g., KAPS) and natural gas liquids platform expansion.
  • Data centre and AI-ready infrastructure appears via large-scale capital: CPP Investments and EQT Group back EdgeConneX, and La Caisse finances Cologix’s Montréal MTL8 site.
  • British Columbia shows frequent deal activity linked to infrastructure-adjacent resource and royalties themes (e.g., exploration funding and royalty acquisitions/investments).
  • Transaction formats vary: full acquisitions (including all-stock deals and court-approved plans), stake purchases, private placements, and strategic investments.
  • Ongoing platform consolidation is a visible pattern, such as acquiring remaining interests or expanding operational control over established systems.
