Accelerating Canada’s Shift to Electric Vehicles: Grassroots Initiatives and Government Support
Across Canada, the landscape of transportation is changing rapidly, with electric vehicles (EVs) becoming a more common sight on the roads. This transition is not just about new cars—it’s a nationwide movement that touches everything from job creation in manufacturing to affordable and sustainable transportation options for communities. As more Canadian families embrace EVs, the financial benefits are clear: significant savings on fuel costs are just the beginning. At the same time, public transportation is also evolving, with electric and hydrogen buses, along with e-bikes, offering low-cost alternatives for people of all ages and income levels.
AI in the Public Sector: Balancing Innovation and Security
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming Canadian government operations, balancing innovation with the need for responsible and secure implementation. Cate Takemori, Public Sector Lead at Microsoft Canada, discusses how to navigate this evolving landscape.
The use of generative AI (Gen AI) in the workplace is not just a future possibility—it’s a present reality. According to the latest Work Trend Index, a new report from Microsoft and LinkedIn, 62% of Canadian knowledge workers are already using AI at work. This widespread adoption is driven by the benefits AI offers in terms of time saving, increased productivity, and the reduction of mundane tasks—an enticing prospect for government employees who are often bogged down by routine, administrative work.
