In episode 82 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floating the idea of Canada becoming the EU’s first associate member, in a bid to deepen defense, energy and critical mineral ties amid strained US relations, it’s worth examining Canadian companies uniquely positioned to strengthen the EU’s industrial base, whether or not the associate member category is ever formally defined and Canada is included within it. Jon pulls back the curtain on Nutrien (TSX/NYSE: NTR), one of the world's largest providers of agricultural inputs and services, while Trevor examines Mont Royal Resources (TSXV: MRZL), whose Ashram project in Quebec contains one of the largest deposits of rare earth elements in North America.

In this episode, we explore the growing demand for copper, a market the International Energy Agency believes could face a 30% supply deficit by 2035, with shortages potentially emerging as early as 2027 according to BMI. As AI data centres drive a surge in electricity consumption, power grids require major upgrades, and renewable energy technologies continue expanding worldwide, demand for copper is accelerating at a time when declining ore grades and years of underinvestment are constraining supply. This widening gap is drawing attention to copper producers and growth-oriented miners that may be well positioned to benefit from the metal's critical role in the global economy. We'll take a closer look at Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) and Capstone Copper (TSX: CS) and examine how they could capitalize on this long-term trend. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The video game industry is shifting away from a hardware-driven business toward one focused on digital ecosystems, intellectual property, and profitability. Microsoft is restructuring Xbox after years of costly acquisitions, cutting thousands of gaming jobs and prioritizing returns over growth, while Sony is betting on an all-digital future by ending physical game releases in 2028, a move that could boost margins but has sparked consumer and legal concerns. Meanwhile, Nintendo remains relatively stable thanks to its powerful franchises and continued support for physical media. For investors, the key question is no longer which company sells the most consoles, but which can best monetize its content, navigate rising AI-era costs, maintain consumer trust, and control distribution in an increasingly digital gaming landscape.
