I recorded this interview with @nickfrosst during @TOtechweek, before the Anthropic news broke.
But in many ways, our conversation was *about* that news.
What happens when all your technology comes from a country that can just... turn it off?
What tech should the rest of the world buy? What should it build?
Did the @AnthropicAI model ban prove @cohere is right about sovereign #AI? xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1OxwbbOgY…

It was a pleasure attending @BetaKit's Most Ambitious Town Hall during Toronto Tech Week and connecting with founders, investors, and industry leaders helping shape the future of Ontario.
Events like this underscore the importance of growing our province’s digital economy so we can enhance our position as a global leader in technology and emerging industries.
By supporting the people and companies behind these efforts, we can create jobs, attract investment, and strengthen Ontario’s economic competitiveness for years to come.

Very interesting (and accessible!) take here from @VassB - worth a read to consider, whether you are deep into this topic or not.
How can we extract our country from weaponized economic and technological integration?
@VassB’s answer isn’t a digital wall around Canada. It’s something more practical.

Dominion Dynamics aims to become Canada’s first line of defence in the Arctic.
@BetaKit featured our story in their Most Ambitious 2026 issue, alongside fellow Canadian innovators stepping up to strengthen our national security and sovereign capability.
Canada has the longest coastline in the world and almost no visibility into the Arctic. We're building the digital backbone to change that.
