The investment is barely a primer, but with all the negative pressures on our economy coming from 49th south, anything now is a win. Luckily we have a competent leader, smooth negotiator and has paved the way for more investment in technology despite the temporary NAFTA woes.

Just like Bombadeer, they will grab the money and run. I wouldn't give them a penny in support. They are playing Trudeau when they use words like "diverse" and "accepting". Those are words substituted for illegal migrant "refugees".


Canada is a world leader in the tech industry. One of the largest video game manufactures is located in Burnaby, B.C. and well as the only commercially available working quantum computer manufactures!


Video game geeks. What, a dozen programmers and all their software sold on the net? Computer maker in Canada? Never heard of them.

These guys can work from anywhere in the world and they are claiming they will invest $2 billion in Canada? Yup, right after Trudeau responds to Parliament questions with an intelligent answer. Sorry, but I think this massive investment is fake news.

The callowness of your comment is unbelievable, EA (Electronics arts)sports employs 1300 in Burnaby B.C.
- The campus consists of a motion-capture studio, twenty-two rooms for composing, fourteen video editing suites, three production studios, a wing for audio compositions, and a quality assurance department. There are also facilities such as fitness rooms, two theatres, a cafeteria called EAt, coffee bars, a soccer field, and several arcades. The building is situated next to Discovery Park.

Every so often there is a chance to make a difference. To undertake a project, which against all odds, makes a technology of the future an achievement of today.

good point Plato. That's why I wanted you to scream that phrase you used through a bullhorn at university campuses in Canada. It wasn't that hard to understand.

Ontario has become a true hub for artificial intelligence, not just in Canada, but worldwide and the province's reputation as a global leader in AI is growing. It's home to world-class research centres such as the Vector Institute for artificial intelligence and start-up supporters, such as NEXT AI. Whether in fintech, medtech or other fields, some of the most promising AI ventures are located within the province. Here are just a handful of the ones to watch this year.

-Acerta
-Elucid Labs
-Layer 6 AI
-MindBridge.AI
-Winterlight Labs
-Deep Genomics
-Horizons ETFs
-Integrate.AI
-Analytics 4 Life

The video game business is here for the same reason as the film production business, tax credits, a weak dollar and an abundance of cheap labour. It’s been a race to the bottom since the mid 90’s, to see who can fork out the most in tax dollars to corporate conglomerates.

You could be right, that the only thing that matters is the weak dollar and cheap labour. That is why Central African Republic is the tech powerhouse of the world, dominating every nation in international tech investment!!!!

That phrase "race to the bottom" has been so over-used. What would you prefer, no one working in the high-tech sector?
