I would add two things. One: AI is exactly an area where one should use Trump's rhetoric to recruit people and capital. Tell the world that Canada is THE place where everyone from everywhere can feel at home and welcomed. So come HERE  so as not to feel alienated THERE. Secondly Irvine should sometime write another piece  about how someone with a bachelors degree in  Psychology & Mass Communications can make it big in the tech world. I am not being facetious here, as I really don't know how it is done.
