🇨🇦 Ottawa’s new toy: a digital twin for managerial fantasies

Canada is cracking under housing shortages, infrastructure strain, and immigration-driven population shocks, so naturally the expert class wants a digital twin of the country. Carleton’s Stephen Fai is building a parallel Canada that lets users mix proprietary projects with public data, as reported. Because when the real country is buckling, our institutions apparently prefer a simulation they can micromanage from a screen.

This is peak Trudeau-era governance culture: model everything, control everything, fix nothing. Bureaucrats, academics, and their globalist policy friends love dashboards because dashboards do not vote, protest, or remember what Canada used to be. A digital twin sounds sleek until you realize it is tailor-made for top-down social engineering, smart-city creep, and more centralized planning by people who already mangled affordability, borders, and national cohesion. Sovereign countries need builders, families, and functioning infrastructure, not another taxpayer-adjacent technocratic sandbox for people intoxicated by data and detached from reality.
