There are reliable, highly-advanced and AFFORDABLE electric vehicles out there...but you can't buy them.

Canada intentionally keeps affordable EVs out of the market. Here's the breakdown in this week's Drescher Drop:

**My newsletter is not another tech roundup**

I'm Canada's award-winning tech journalist, and The Drescher Drop is my weekly dive into the stories everyone else misses: the policy failures, the disruptive startups, and the national security issues we need to be talking about.

When you hear people talk about housing and transit, remember this: Experts now call them national security issues. You can't retain AI talent if you can't house them. No talent = No innovation = No sovereignty. Read the full debut of The Drescher Drop #CdnTech #AI

[Nathan Drescher @NateDrescher]

Canada has a critical problem: We are handing our AI national security over to foreign tech giants. Why? Because we’re too bureaucratic to let Canadian startups help. The system is fundamentally broken.

[Nathan Drescher @NateDrescher]

NATO offers our startups clear runways to success (the DIANA accelerator). Canada offers them 1,000-page certification manuals. This procurement gridlock actively forces our best innovators to the sidelines and ensures we are dependent on multinational platforms.

Am I the only person who dislikes Apple's boring lineup this year?

[Nathan Drescher @NateDrescher]

The US just gave Canada a massive gift. Their steep increase in H-1B visa fees could send a wave of top tech talent directly to us.

This is a for our country to leverage its open immigration policies and solidify its position as a global tech leader.
