Canada’s edge in AI isn’t just labs or funding — it’s our people.

"Each year, universities support more than 400,000 jobs and contribute more than $45-billion to Canada’s economy," yet most remain ineligible for federal infrastructure funding.
A timely op-ed from @univcan on why universities should be included in Canada's infrastructure plans.
Universities are ready to help Canada solve its infrastructure and housing challenges.
What’s needed?
➡️ Student housing treated as Canadian housing
➡️ Campus infrastructure eligible for federal support
➡️ Fewer barriers to get projects moving

Entry level jobs aren’t vanishing because of AI – but they’re changing. Universities can prepare students by continuing to focus on teaching the human skills AI can’t easily replicate.
Thanks @thechrisws for the thoughtful discussion.
