Well Garth, reading this Tapscott essay just makes me want to head for the woods. But there is no escaping it. Tapscott has been right before and congratulations to you for already getting your head around these mindboggling changes coming up.  We might benefit from having a discussion, after Christmas, of who is in this space in Canada and how we might participate.

The growing autonomy of personal AI agents makes it essential that digital sovereignty begins with the individual. This is not on any Federal Government agenda, and wasn’t really addressed in the last CIRA hosted Canadian Internet Governance Forum (CIGF). I think that forming a coalition of individuals and organizations recognizing and advancing this as a significant Canadian public policy issue is a task that fits with TC’s mandate. Here’s Tapscott’s full article making the case.


While it bugs me that Tapscott writes better than I do, I’m happy to note I essentially said this before he did.
