Building the Internet Responsibly: A Conversation Canada Needs Right Now

We’re at a critical moment for Canadian technology — not just in what we’re building, but how and why we’re building it.

I recently had the opportunity to join Tyler Chisholm on the Collisions YYC podcast for a conversation that went well beyond trends and tools. The central question was a simple but uncomfortable one: we are the generation building the internet — are we doing it responsibly?

In the episode, we dig into the frameworks leaders actually need right now: AI governance that goes beyond compliance, how algorithmic bias shows up in real systems, why gender equity and online safety are structural issues (not side conversations), and what it means to lead with intention in digital spaces that are moving faster than regulation can keep up.

This wasn’t a conversation about surface-level ethics or checkbox solutions. It was about centering humanity before the consequences of our technology become irreversible — work I continue to do through Ethical Digital.

If you work in tech, advise on innovation, sit on a board, or care about the future of Canada’s digital economy, I genuinely hope you take the time to listen. These are the conversations that shape the internet we’re all going to live with.
