It will be interesting to see and how fast he acts on campaign promises. From a selfish perspective I am most interested in tariffs and if/how they will be applied to digital good sand services. If there are import tariffs on digital goods and services it will change how we organize innovation companies in Canada. If he goes ahead with mass deportations (5 million, ten million, more) there will be mass deaths and complete economic disruption, so I doubt that Vance and Musk will allow him to do this. Meanwhile, start planning for three degrees plus of global warming and all that entails.

Agreed that mass deportations will not happen/work. Practically not feasible and it would also put a real dent in the economy. Correct on Canada, tariffs are the real danger, for everyone.

Thank you for your concise summary. Patriarchy is a disease requiring intervention. Patriarchy is derived from the Greek word patriarkhēs that literally means "the rule of the father" and is used to refer to a social system where men control a disproportionately large share of social, economic, political and religious power, and inheritance usually passes down the male line.

Pieter: Please share your thoughts on the overcoming this obstacle in our future.

Raise strong women. And we are doing that (it was also the defining principle in raising my two daughters). Lots of female politicians (look at Kemi Badenoch in the UK) are moving up the ranks. Same in business. The most impressive founders I see in the tech community are women. It is a matter of time.
