So, what could we as Canadians consider, as a pivotal new year arrives? I would suggest that we resolve to:

Stand up for Canada. Help Americans who may not recognize it, to appreciate just how essential we are to a healthy American economy; from energy to autos today, and to critical minerals and AI tomorrow.

Play as a team. Canadians are always stronger together, and now is one of those times for everyone to be ready to hop over the boards onto the ice when needed. Let’s stand up for Canada together, not bow down divided.

Embrace change. Change in how government operates. Change in what we expect from our businesses. Change in how we use technology. Change in how we talk to and listen to each other. From geopolitics to technology, the world is being transformed. The status quo is no longer an option. The question is: what kind of change do we want? Is it change that brings us together or change that drives us apart?

Support and inspire our builders. Builders create businesses that provide solutions and job opportunities for Canadians. Builders make our communities better, and they discover the possible in our universities. We need Canadian builders to be unleashed because now is a time to build – housing, energy, technology, communities and security.
