Canada needs a future playbook to save our way of life.

In March Germany announced and put into law their crisis and stimulus economic strategy. They committed to defending technological and economic sovereignty. Their approach, and McKinsey & Company’s most recent analysis, lean heavily on “future proof” economies fuelled by technology. 

"Spurred by alarm as they struggle against international competition" Germany earmarked $100B euros to invest in technology companies. China recently invested $1.4 trillion to compete on technology. US big tech business stopped investment and pivoted to acquiring vulnerable companies, targeting Canada’s valued talent, leadership and intellectual property via call centre campaigns.

Where is Canada’s urgency and strategic focus? As the world races toward an uncertain competitive future, we are gravely concerned that after 100 days into this crisis Canada lacks a comprehensive science and technology emergency assistance plan. This potentially knocks us out of the “future” international play.
