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.
