(And, as the old joke goes, if you’re not interested in the implications of AI progress, rest assured that AI progress is interested in you.) Read More

In "The Art of War," the Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

It gets harder by the week to distinguish Canada’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s protectionism from … well, protectionism, as opposed to something more sophisticated, calculated or intelligent. I argued recently that there’s no good reason for BC Ferries to pay over the odds for new vessels if a Chinese shipyard can build them on time and for the best price — but of course I understand the unique sensitivities around China, just as I do those around the United States.
