There is an obvious need for smart tech regulation, starting with doing a better job of protecting the things that matter – Canadians’ privacy, data sovereignty and marketplace fairness through robust competition laws. But the strategic blunders that culminated in the embarrassing decision to cave on the DST must lead to internal acknowledgment of a failed approach. When even your marquee policy for collecting revenues from the world’s leading tech companies crashes, it is time to admit that Canada desperately needs a tech regulation reset."
