When government redefines “infrastructure” to include AI and data systems, the impacts are not abstract. Workers face displacement, and vulnerable Canadians risk being shut out as essential services move toward AI-enabled, digital-only models. Yet Parliament was never given the opportunity to debate or approve this $10-billion expansion of the...

When Liberal Budget 2025 calls a digital program “generationally transformative,” Canadians deserve to know exactly what that means, and how it will reshape their rights, their democracy, and the integrity of the nation. This budget sets in motion changes to your life in fundamental ways. Under this new digital framework: You will see national infrastructure begin shifting from physical assets like bridges and power grids to AI networks, data centres, and emerging digital ID systems that govern access to services. You may experience your economic activity being redefined, as your data, behaviour, and digital interactions become counted as part of Canada’s capital assets and GDP. You will eventually spend money differently as the government moves towards programmable digital currency to control when, where, and how your funds can be used, and even expiring if not spent. You will be tracked more closely, as your purchases, travel patterns, and even your carbon footprint become part of a centralized ledger that monitors real-time interactions. You will see ownership replaced with access, as government and corporations move toward systems where you rent, subscribe, or log in, where Gen-Z's should forget about ever owning a home, products, or tools outright. I warned five years ago that this shift was coming, and now the foundation for it is being laid. My hope is that this serves as a wake-up call for Canadians to become more engaged in our public life, because the future of our rights, our democracy, and our national identity will depend on your consent.

The Indian Government just did something that has Silicon Valley terrified. India is not simply buying AI chips. It is deliberately making AI compute cheaper than Amazon, and in some cases free. Under the IndiaAI Mission, the government has launched AIRAWAT, a national AI compute platform, alongside iKosha, India’s national AI data treasury. Together, they give startups, researchers and universities access to high-end AI compute at a fraction of the cost charged by Amazon, Google or Microsoft. For public institutions, researchers and selected early-stage startups, access is heavily subsidised, and in some cases provided entirely free. This is a fundamental shift in how AI infrastructure is being built. On Western cloud platforms, AI compute is priced for multinational corporations with deep pockets. India has chosen a different route. Instead of locking AI behind expensive pay-per-use contracts, it has created shared national infrastructure, where GPUs are pooled and made available at cost. Startups do not need millions in venture capital just to train a model. Researchers are not forced into foreign cloud dependency. Innovation is not restricted to those who can afford Silicon Valley pricing. The rollout of tens of thousands of GPUs, many of them Nvidia, is not about stockpiling hardware. It is about democratising access to compute. India is making it clear that if you are building something useful, locally relevant, or public-facing, you should not be priced out of AI by Big Tech. This is why it matters globally. India is not trying to outspend the United States or China. It is doing something more disruptive: undercutting the cloud monopoly model by making AI infrastructure cheap, shared, and in some cases free. That is also why this development receives so little attention in Western tech media. This is iKosha, AIRAWAT, and a conscious move towards AI sovereignty — affordable, accessible, and designed for public good rather than corporate rent-seeking.
