Ex-BlackBerry CEO Urges Canada to Shield Itself From ‘Trump Doctrine’

The former CEO of BlackBerry, Jim Balsillie, has urged the Canadian government to take measures to shield the country from the potential impact of the "Trump Doctrine" in the United States. Balsillie believes it is crucial for Canada to build economic resilience and exert sovereignty over its data, in light of the new national security policy released by the US. The article suggests that Balsillie is concerned about the implications of the US policy and its potential impact on Canada. He is calling on the government, led by Mark Carney, to take proactive steps to protect the country's economic and data-related interests. Balsillie's remarks highlight the need for Canada to maintain its independence and safeguard its economic and technological assets in the face of the changing geopolitical landscape.
