The entire job market and economy is dismal in Canada. Unless you are working for the Gov, you're kind of fucked. New grads have few opportunities, many try to find meaningful work in the US or abroad. Does anyone actually take this announcement seriously?
It's just a nice story....
>The government expects the strategy to increase the country's gross domestic product by 3%, unlocking nearly C$200 billion as commercialization and use of AI in key sectors increases labor productivity.
More layoffs through adoption of AI to replace jobs.
>Canada will establish a C$500 million Canadian Tech Growth Fund to help close the capital gap at Canadian AI companies versus U.S. tech giants.
500 million? Google et al spend that in a day.
>The government will use a C$500 million initiative from the Business Development Bank of Canada to finance access to AI tools for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises.
The hoops you will have to jump through for access will make it entirely not worth it.
Just saying...junk away...
