While Canada launches a $2B national AI strategy, only 12% of Canadian businesses use AI — and 100,000+ tech jobs have already been wiped out globally. Ubisoft shut Canadian studios. EA axed Montreal's Motive team. The reckoning is here. Is your business ready?
Canada's $2B national AI strategy promises 250,000 new jobs by 2031 — but the data tells a darker story. With 55% of 2026 layoffs citing AI, Montreal's Lightspeed already gutting its support team, and only 12% of Canadian businesses actually using AI, the real disruption is happening now.
Ottawa dropped a $3.5B national AI strategy this week. Meanwhile, Canadian companies are already slashing thousands of jobs to fund AI. The irony is brutal — and Canadian business owners need to act now.
