Taylor Owen Interviews Jim Balsillie on How to Build a More Sovereign Canada | The Globe and Mail

April 24th, 2025 | With less than a week before the federal election, Taylor Owen sat down with Jim Balsillie—former co-CEO of Research in Motion and one of Canada’s most prominent business leaders—to discuss why Canada’s economy is falling behind and what must change. As Donald Trump escalates attacks on the Canadian economy and hints at turning Canada into the “51st state,” Balsillie argues the real threat to Canadian sovereignty isn’t Trump—it’s decades of political complacency and corporate capture. In this timely conversation, Balsillie lays out a bold vision for a stronger, more sovereign Canada that moves beyond outdated economic models and puts the public interest first.
