From Arctic geometry gaps to sovereignty exposure, can Canada afford continued dependence on external GNSS systems? The strategic silence in Ottawa has finally broken. For decades, Canada’s reliance on the American Global Positioning System (GPS) […]
Canada’s infrastructure conversation is changing. Industrial policy is tightening. Procurement modernization is accelerating. Canadian security independence and defence capability are receiving renewed attention. Supply chain resilience and trusted digital systems are now operational priorities. Within […]
Canada currently lacks a sovereign Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and several core components of modern geodetic infrastructure needed to ensure reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). Canada now depends heavily on foreign satellite systems […]
BigGeo is joining the GoGeomatics Expo 2025 as a Silver Sponsor. The flagship three-day event, which connects Canada’s geospatial, geomatics, and construction communities, will take place November 3-5, 2025, at the Big Four Roadhouse in […]
Dr. Tracey Lauriault’s recent interview, Before It’s Too Late: Canada’s Data Sovereignty Crisis, struck a chord with me. Her message about the risks of losing control over Canada’s geospatial data — and the need to […]
Canada’s failure to invest in modern geodetic infrastructure has left it dependent on foreign systems to run satellites, guide ships, synchronize power grids, and safeguard sovereignty — an invisible weakness in the infrastructure that holds […]
Canada has shown it can move fast when it decides something matters. Artificial intelligence is the proof. The Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, launched in 2017, was the world’s first funded national AI strategy. It built a […]
This interview is part of our GoGeomatics series on Canada’s infrastructure moment — exploring how record investments in infrastructure, civil preparedness, and critical systems will reshape how projects are delivered. Canada has committed 5% of […]
