Think about the tech you used today.
Your phone, your email, your cloud storage, your maps, your work chat. Almost all of it is owned by a handful of American companies.
That isn't an anti-American take. It's a dependency problem.
Look at Ukraine this month. Starlink speeds were capped on moving terminals, and their drone defences struggled during attacks. Whoever made the call, one decision made thousands of kilometres away changed what happened on the ground.
Now imagine that's our internet, our cloud, our emergency systems. That's not just a tech problem. It's a security problem.
And we have the talent. Waterloo, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver turn out some of the best engineers in the world. Then most of them go build for someone else.
Canada needs its own cloud, its own satellites, its own tools, built here and owned here.
If you could switch one app in your life to a Canadian-built one, which would it be?
