A new government white paper on digital sovereignty says Ottawa can’t maintain full control over its data if its data storage supplier is subject to the laws of another country.
how would any of the other parties stated policies have compared?
Harper at least kept budgets inflation corrected. Trudeau actually cut biomedical research by not increasing the budget, and Carney is set to cut it further because CDN scientists can no longer leave to the US. Practically, with inflation in science much higher than consumer inflation, grants are at 50%, with success rates below 15%.
Then, they have the nerve to say Canadian economy is not productive. They want us to pull innovation out of our asses, and when it does mysteriously happen, 99% of it gets developed in the US or sold off to US companies.
NDP? They have never had any real support of research and avoid it in policy. Greens -irrelevant.
Aside from Chretien, no PM has taken science seriously in 60 years.
Before the Trudeau hate train gains too much speed, how would any of the other parties stated policies have compared?
I haven’t seen a lot of policy statements from the opposition parties on data sovereignty (beyond language about it being a generally good idea).
