Blueprints for a Bold Future: Leadership, Vision, Strategy in Action | William C. | TEDxTFS Youth

Economic Analysis & Strategic Vision - Canada faces internal division and complacency, hindering its potential [2] - Canada's political system lacks a long-term vision, focusing on short-term issues instead of long-term prosperity [6] - Interprovincial trade regulations impede Canada's national trade, which only constitutes one-third of the economy [7] - Canada's GDP per capita grew by less than 40% of the US's growth, at only 23% over the past 10 years [8] Resource Management & Trade - Alberta sends over 4 million barrels of oil daily to the US at a discount, while Eastern Canada imports oil from Saudi Arabia at a higher price [7] - Canada could increase its GDP by up to $330 billion a year by responsibly developing its energy and natural resources [12] Immigration & Investment - Canada's population has soared at 16% over the past 10 years, three times that of the US [8] - Canada has not taken a strategic approach to immigration, lacking workers in areas like healthcare [9] - Canada has not invested at the same pace as the US in AI, clean energy, and quantum computing [9] Proposed Solutions - Canada needs to act as one nation by eliminating interprovincial trade regulations [11] - Canada should join more alliances with the EU, Japan, and Australia, representing over $20 trillion in market share [13] - Canada needs a merit-based immigration system to attract skilled workers and investors [14] - Canada should invest in AI and space to fuel innovation and secure future jobs [15]
