๐Ÿ”— The false promise of sovereignty economics - The Hub

\n
\n

The insight generalizes into a first principle that sovereignty economics gets backwards: countries do not become rich chiefly by owning things. They become rich when their people are productive. A Canadian nurse, farmer, or machinist working with the worldโ€™s best AI tools is better off than one confined to a domestically owned but inferior alternative. Forty-one million Canadians equipped with frontier technology will generate more prosperity than a handful of protected national champions ever could.
