This is hard work, involving all generations ... and enuff said already about, "But I'm too busy!"

Canada is certainly will not be able to rely on the US as an economic buffer. In the knowledge-based economy, once must be nimble, worldly and ready to embrace the blending of cultures. Extraordinary relational skills in information sharing. Consider what China got when it reintegrated Hong Kong. To compete tomorrow means nurturing and attracting great Canadian minds and managers, innovation and innovators.

These emerging technologies - utopian in their promise are certain to sweep old industries away. Canada's greatest future asset is in its young minds, entrepreneurial immigrants and penchant for enterprise.

An unheralded asset is also the experience and capital of a retiring generation. Neither have been introduced, and netiher are yet well enough developed by any measure to garner confidence in the global, competitive economy.

Such concentration has left an illusion of sustained success - particularly for Alberta. Such concentration is a poor insurance policy. In a global, knowledge- based economy, carbon becomes a commodity and a already an unpopular one at that.

We must diversify our economies beyond carbon, or we will be left in the carbon age and out of the age of electricity and clean-tech, cell therapies and machine learning, nano-tech and fusion energy.

[pkinkaie]

What we now need is to remove the policy and cultural impediments to commercializing technologies. If Canada is to compete it must establish a culture of enterprise, entrepreneurs and a nimble management environment where money, marketing, management, manpower, mergers, moxie and even marriages are viewed as the incubators of success. Where science and business shape the new Canada.

[pkinkaie]

The impediments to sustainability are the very administrative mechanisms and cultures that served us so well over the last century, built up to promote Canada's science capacity and to develop a carbon intensive economy. That we now have! 

[pkinkaie]

Peter Hackett elaborates on THE fundamental Canadian challenge! That if Canada, its provinces, and companies are to compete in a global, knowledge-based economy then they together must unite in the quest to be best in the commercialization of technologies. A recent insight is that the pursuit of science alone, of research without regard to market appetites contributes little to Canadian competitiveness without the capacity to commercialize the associated technologies.
