Build Canada is entering a new phase:

We started out this year as a small group of volunteers who wanted to make Canada the most prosperous country in the world – the best place to build a company, a career, a life.

that “spokesperson” is me

for the record, i think i’ve heard of “the network state” like twice before Jen mentioned it to me. It’s not related to @build_canada in any way.

Sheesh. 🤦🏻 I want a thriving democracy, POGG, and growing prosperity for everyone - not a “network state” whatever that is…

The effort to influence government policy and raise awareness of public spending is not trying to emulate billionaire Elon Musk’s controversial DOGE initiative in the U.S., a spokesperson for Build Canada and Canada Spends.

Build Canada Is Not DOGE, Says Spokesperson | The Tyee

An effort by Canadian entrepreneurs to cut public spending is distancing itself from Elon Musk’s federal employee slashing agency.

Left out of the story:

- BC aims to have scale builders sponsor papers.

- We have actively reached out to women who have built and lead scale business to contribute their ideas.

- There are papers in the pipeline where women are the sponsors.

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · Mar 20

we’re assholes for volunteering time to try and share policy ideas to help grow the country?! Sheesh 🤦🏻

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · Mar 10

what are we trying to do?
get people to consider and discuss bold ideas like this:

www.buildcanada.com/memos/childr...

Brighter Futures: Giving Every Child a Head-Start Fund

With modest changes to Old Age Security, we can create a wealth fund that gives every child $10,000 at birth, available for use towards things like education starting at 18.

Given what’s happening in the world - Canada’s government has to reset its priorities, operations and mindset.

This is a way to do it and regain the trust of the people.

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · Mar 9

yes: a strong endorsement of public led review, hard choices, transparency, talent density, smart use of technology, and prioritization so we can have the most productive and effective government in the world.

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · Mar 9

well worth the read.

thehub.ca/2025/03/08/can…

before you freak out…

no: not an endorsement of chaos, non-democratic actors, unconstitutional actions etc.
