Canadians have grown skeptical of their own tech sector’s ambition — and the skepticism is earned. One serial entrepreneur, who’s built and exited multiple companies and who is now building a new venture, makes the case that trust isn’t lost forever — it’s rebuilt through specific choices leaders make about ownership, distribution, and who actually benefits when a company wins. This isn’t a pep talk about “believing in Canada.” It’s a direct look at what actually broke with trust, what it takes to fix it, and what a more ambitious, tech-led Canada could look like if leaders make different bets than the ones that got us here.
