ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
It's been well over a year since Canadians (and our governments) realized just how dependent we are on American technology—for everything from our day-to-day lives to the infrastructure of Canadian businesses and even our defence capabilities. We knew then that Canada had the talent and the resources, all we needed was the will.
Well, that and hundreds of billions of dollars. And a tech industry that doesn't keep losing talent to the US. And a whole bunch of other things that threaten to overshadow the progress we have made by driving home just how difficult it is for any country in the world to detach its digital needs from the global leader.
Today, Douglas Soltys, editor in chief of BetaKit and host of the BetaKit podcast, takes us inside Canada's tech industry and shows us what we've managed to accomplish and the barriers still standing in our way.
