Bill C-22, the "Lawful Access Act", is raising alarm bells across the country. It may cost 🇨🇦 billions in industry.
In 2018, 🇦🇺 implemented a similar legislation titled TOLA (the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment).
A study commissioned following implementation demonstrates the results were devastating to 🇦🇺's tech sector.
The problem is, 🇨🇦 is much more exposed than Australia ever could be.

Canada needs to accelerate energy infrastructure projects to take advantage of a rare opportunity to significantly increase its exports amid a global reckoning on energy policy caused by the war in Iran, the head of the International Energy Agency said ahead of a trip to Ottawa.
I have changed my mind on how AI will impact jobs in America.
Previously, I believed AI would replace many entry level roles typically filled by young employees. The technology would then work its way up the organization and eventually reduce the total number of jobs in a company.
The data is saying something different, so when I get new information I am willing to change my mind.
The number of software engineers being hired has been increasing. The number of open software engineer roles is growing.
The number of new college grads who get hired has increased 5.6% over the last 12 months. The unemployment level for people aged 20-24 years old who have a college degree has fallen from nearly 9% to almost 5% as well.
The Wall Street Journal recently wrote “AI created 640,000 jobs between 2023 and 2025 in the U.S., according to an analysis by LinkedIn of job posting data, including new white-collar positions such as Head of AI and AI engineer.”
And I am starting to see companies throughout our portfolio aggressively hiring to keep up with the demand for their products and services.
If AI can make employees more productive, which is widely accepted as fact, then companies are going to want as many productive units of labor as possible. This is a key reason why I am changing my mind.
AI appears to be a magical technology that will make companies more productive and more profitable. The net result will be more corporations, more startups, and more jobs.
All three are big, positive wins for the American economy.
Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks
Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains
That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

Thoughts after covering the game last night. Blue Jays have created an identity of who they are and how they play-pick each other up, next man up mentality. The facilities, ownership & the fans have made the Blue Jays a destination for players and their families. @BlueBirdTerr

A successful Team Canada trip to CERAWeek 2026 completed.
From global companies to international allies, the message in every conversation was clear: Canada has what the world wants - and now more than ever.
Our response?
We are ready to deliver, and to use our energy as a unifying, stabilizing force for good.
@JsonBasedman@Shopify Get a few good waterloo interns access to the ground truth payroll historic data and the union contracts and a well funded anthropic account and they can solve this problem with Claude code in a few weekends. You don’t need us.
