Abstract

The article discusses technology investor Jim Balsillie's call for the Canadian government, led by Mark Carney, to enhance economic resilience and assert sovereignty over Canadian data in light of a new U.S. national security policy. Balsillie, former head of BlackBerry Ltd. and current chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators, emphasizes the need for Canada to treat data as a strategic national asset and to prioritize domestic firms over foreign investments. The article also highlights the concept of a "sovereign cloud" to protect Canadian citizens' information and the importance of aligning government procurement strategies with national sovereignty, as articulated by Patrick Searle, the new CEO of the Council of Canadian Innovators.
