In the middle of a trade war with the U.S., there’s a new wave of Canadian pride and a real chance to shape the economy we want for the future. 🇨🇦

Four bold ideas for Canada’s next prime minister at a time of economic inflection https://t.co/02lPFbfh7I

I sat down with @davidcommon from @CBCNews to highlight why we need to start betting on Canadian-made tech now.

We’ve got world-class talent and brilliant founders that are more than ready to lead. But we need to show up for them — not just with words, but with real investment, smart policy and bold procurement decisions.

That’s why we launched the Oh Canada Tech Directory — a one-stop shop for businesses looking to partner with Canadian tech companies.

We’re actively working with procurement teams so choosing Canadian becomes the easiest decision in the room. Because the more we invest in Canadian tech, the stronger and more self-reliant our economy becomes.

If you’re a Canadian tech business, apply today.

This morning, I sat down with @davidcommon from @CBCNews to give my take on if Canada has really lost its drive and ambition. My thoughts?

We’re failing to provide the right conditions for startups to thrive.

Building a business is hard enough—if we’re not putting the right incentives in place, we’re to blame. High costs of living, transportation, infrastructure, taxation—these things are making it next to impossible for entrepreneurs to succeed here.

We’re far from the finish line though. Canada has what it takes to succeed, but we have to act now.

Among the best interviews I’ve ever done. Thank you to 3 Magazine for giving me the platform to tell my story.

At a time when 🇨🇦 is facing productivity challenges & rising unemployment, the feds are sending a message to our innovators that their big dreams aren't worth it.

Times and tech have changed, and as a founder, you need to set up your startup for success to become that world-class business you know you can be.

Embrace the camel mindset.

The ultimate startup goal has always been to achieve unicorn status, but this isn’t realistic in today’s business climate.

It’s time to start thinking like a camel.

What do we mean? Check out our programs and stay tuned as we unveil more camel tips ⬇️🐪
