Introducing a new Canadian Discovery Visa to attract the world’s best innovators to do research and build in Canada. Here’s our idea.:

[Build Canada @buildcanada]

The US has seen recent cuts to research funding, immigration crackdown, and political interference in universities. 75% of US scientists now say they're considering leaving.

This is Canada's opportunity.

Canada has long been a great destination for research. We've won 5 Nobel Prizes in Physics in the past decade. We boast strong academia, and world-class institutions in quantum and AI like Perimeter, Vector, and MILA.

Immigrants make up an outsized portion of these institutions. They make up 26% of our nation's workforce but account for 35% of computer programmers, 42% of physicists, and 57% of chemists. This matches global trends – 42% of top-tier AI researchers work in a different country than they received their undergraduate degree.

Amidst the uncertainty of the US, many researchers are eyeing Canada for its stable, supportive and high-quality environment. University of Toronto recently recruited multiple tenured Yale professors.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to absorb world-class talent that is disillusioned and displaced. But we must act fast. Other countries are already pouncing at the opportunity to poach them.

We propose a Canada Discovery Visa:
- Require $0 financial commitment
- Take no more than 30 days to process
- Require a Master's, PhD or PostDoc in at least one strategic area
- Be granted based on merit and nomination from a Canadian research institution or company
- Include consideration for one of the 1,000 Canadian Discovery Research Chairs

What's more, we can ensure that for everyone who comes, their ideas stay, get commercialized, and build long-term wealth here:
- Tie research grants to commercialization outcomes
- Align our accelerators and incubators to support commercialization efforts
- Provide a fast-track to permanent residency for immigrants who file patents or start businesses locally

The Hospital for Sick Children, "Sick kids" in Toronto is a global champion, and as a parent, a real godsend in our community. Come see me perform with the bands Bucketlist and Money Doctors at the Tech 4 Sickkids concert this April 10th, and join me with a donation to Sickkids to support their next breakthroughs on paediatric care. hashtag#healthcare hashtag#charity hashtag#foofighters hashtag#concert hashtag#children hashtag#pediatrics hashtag#champion hashtag#kidshealth. https://t.co/y5m8BFinYx

No brainer. Let’s build it.

Tariffs are here- avoidable or not. Now, Canada will rise to the occasion. Let's make the most of this moment, fix our internal markets, export resources but also make products with them, streamline everything, and build technology. Everyone wants a strong Canada.

Excited to be a part of Build Canada. Here is my first idea to build a better future and it starts with free access to our own health data. Imagine that. More to come, but for now, check this out: https://t.co/dttHtmk7Wa

Let’s not forget that this needs to get done. Canada internal free trade agreement is like 100 years overdue

Believe it or not....
Liberal Party rules mean people who can't vote in a general election will be choosing Canada's next prime minister.
Teenagers from China. Senior citizens from India.
This is ripe for all kinds of foreign interference.
It's insane.
