Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX) has drawn fresh attention after its corporate name change from Barrick Gold. This shift broadens the focus beyond gold toward a wider mix of mined materials and revenue sources.

WSP Global has been affected by U.S. government efforts under President Donald Trump to curb Canadian firms from winning federal contracts, even though about 20% of its 2016 consolidated gross revenue came from U.S. public sector work largely executed by U.S.-based employees.
