A great story which could be used as a case study of how Canada can retool and retire our economy, leveraging competitive advantages like hydro. I hope patents are Canadian based and are protected from being exported through corporate take overs. And it will be interesting to watch how these technologies scale up. This, I think is what Carney is talking about.
Thanks, Peter. I really appreciate this lens—clean steel as a case study for how we retool our economy is exactly the kind of conversation we need to be having. We’ve got real competitive advantages in hydro, talent, and geography—but they’re only assets if we protect them.
You’re right to flag patents and ownership too. If we let these innovations slip away through corporate consolidation or foreign buyout, we’re just subsidizing someone else’s industrial future.
And yes—this is very much in the spirit of what Carney is calling for: resilience through strategic investment, not just deregulated efficiency.
