- Every dollar U.S. Big Tech can extract from Canada makes America richer and U.S. Big Tech more powerful—while making Canada more dependent on U.S. Big Tech giants and more vulnerable to their laws. And the more powerful U.S. Big Tech becomes here, the less the potential to build up Canadian firms and generate wealth and good jobs for Canada.
