Canada AI policy has a tell. The country boasts about what it is going to do. It does not yet have victories to boast about.

Mohit Rajhans lays out what is actually missing: no unified national framework, no track record of nurturing technology at pace with even smaller European nations, and a governance model still built on self-reporting and meetings held once every two years. At the speed AI moves, that is not regulation.
That is a gap.

Dairy farmers without AI access and rural communities still waiting for high-speed internet are not going to wait quietly while infrastructure money flows to downtown Toronto. The accountability pressure is coming. The question is whether the plan arrives first.

Topics: Canadian AI governance, AI minister, technology policy, AI infrastructure, digital equity
