If Canada has learned anything in recent months, it is that we need to lay down the rails of our own national digital railway (Pierre Berton's The National Dream is essential for any Canadian and those interested in Canada, I think). This Op-Ed from Doug Heintzman lays out the four foundations: self-sovereign digital identity; trusted and accessible data; frictionless payment rails; and universal access to artificial intelligence. I'd word them perhaps a bit differently, but I don't disagree with the essential premise. Identity, data, exchange and algorithms. These are the rails that will either bind us to our neighbours or enable us to create and maintain our own identity. Government should take note.
