POPULARITY
Welcome back to another jam-packed episode of Tank Talks! Host Matt Cohen is joined by John Ruffolo to break down the biggest headlines shaping Canada's business, tech, and financial future. From the $12.3B privatization of Dayforce, to the Canadian government's long-overdue embrace of AI startups, and the urgent debate over stablecoins and financial sovereignty, this episode dives deep into the forces reshaping Canada's economy.Whether you're a founder, investor, or policy watcher, you don't want to miss this candid conversation on where Canada is winning and where we risk falling dangerously behind.Dayforce Acquired in $12.3B Mega Sale (01:15)Matt and John unpack Thoma Bravo's $12.3 billion acquisition of Dayforce, Canada's largest private tech buyout in history. They discuss why HR software has become a hot consolidation market, the risks of Canadian management talent shifting south, and what this deal signals for the future of SaaS valuations.The Rise of Tender Offers & Canva's $42B Valuation (06:01)With Canva's latest employee tender round oversubscribed, John and Matt explore why private markets remain so frothy, how valuation gaps compare to IPOs like Figma's, and what it means for Canadian scale-ups eyeing liquidity.AI Funding Frenzy: Cohere's $500M Raise & Government Partnership (07:30)Canadian AI champion Cohere announced a $500M round at a $6.8B valuation and a landmark MOU with the federal government. John and Matt debate whether government procurement can finally support Canadian AI companies and if AI cost curves are sustainable as token prices plummet.The AI Economics Debate: Infrastructure vs. Applications (10:05)With LLM costs dropping and cloud providers cashing in, John and Matt analyze whether the money in AI will flow to infrastructure giants like Nvidia and Microsoft, or to niche application-layer startups battling against the incumbents.Google's AI Energy Report & The Sustainability Question (13:24)Google claims its Gemini models are 33x more efficient than last year. John questions whether those numbers hold up at scale and what AI's true carbon footprint means for global adoption.China's Stablecoin Push & The Threat to Canadian Sovereignty (15:14)China moves toward approving yuan-backed stablecoins, while the US doubles down on dollar-backed alternatives. John warns that Canada's silence on stablecoin policy risks losing monetary sovereignty, while Matt predicts US dollar stablecoins could eclipse the Canadian dollar within a decade.Why Canadian Entrepreneurs Need “Team Canada” Capital (21:06)Drawing from his recent Substack essay, Chasing the Tornado, John argues that Canada's biggest risk is capital providers sitting on the sidelines. He calls for pensions, banks, and family offices to invest in sovereign businesses before Canada loses control of key industries.Walking Again with AI-Powered Robotics (23:47)On a personal note, John shares his inspiring first steps in a robotic exoskeleton built by Human in Motion Robotics. He describes how AI-driven rehab tech could transform mobility for millions and why this Canadian innovation deserves global attention.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

This week on the Global Research News Hour we continue our discussion with the Federal candidates competing against each other to become the next representative of Winnipeg Centre in the April 28 election. We also hear from Michel Chossudovsky, head of the centre for Research on Globalization about the single question of how US Northern Command has already fundamentally extinguished our sovereignty in critical ways. And we finally hear from author and activist Yves Engler about the major Canadian foreign policy questions not getting enough attention in mainstream media.
Pierre Poilievre says we can't control Trump, but the threat of MAGAism extends far beyond the White House. He wants Canada's natural resources and reaffirmed that he plans on making us the 51st state last week. Yet, some Canadian Premier's like Danielle Smith seem oblivious or worse, open to the idea of crumbling our sovereignty, as she reinvigorates the threat of Alberta separatism. In Episode 125 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the ongoing influence of U.S. politics, particularly under Donald Trump, on Canadian sovereignty and the upcoming election. He emphasizes the importance of strong leadership in maintaining Canada's natural resources and the need for civic engagement through voting. The conversation highlights the complexities of U.S.-Canada relations and the potential threats posed by the Trump administration.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

This week, on the Global Research news Hour, we feature appearances by some of the candidates in the Canadian elections as they situate themselves and their positions in time for the April 28 national vote. We start our show with one by one discussions with three of the candidates for the riding of Winnipeg Centre which houses radio station CKUW. Then we play back excerpts of a discussion from 2018 with Saskatchewan based farmer, political activist and two time contender for leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada about how Canada is in the same position in 2017 as the Canadian colonies were in back in 1866, and now like then, pulling out of free trade with the U.S. would be to the advantage of those above the 49th parallel.

The leader of the Peoples Party of Canada, founded in 2018 by Maxime Bernier, a former Member of Parliament and cabinet minister in the Conservative Party of Canada, the PPC positions itself as a populist, libertarian, and conservative party. Holding dear to their core ideologies and principles includes: Freedom and Individual Responsibility, Fiscal Conservatism, Immigration Reform, Canadian Sovereignty, Free Speech and their challenge to the globalist climate change policies. Clearly the PPC appeals to a subset of Canadians who feel disillusioned with the major political parties and seek an alternative that emphasizes libertarian and populist principles.Follow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax: https://pickax.com/annvandersteelElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

The Bank of Canada, unlike the Federal Reserve in the U.S., is wholly owned by the people of Canada. It was nationalized in 1938 and was used very successfully to fund infrastructure, social programs, education, etc, for the benefit of all Canadians. It was used to bring us out of the depression, funded WWII, to build highways such as the McDonald-Cartier freeway, public transportation systems, subway lines, airports, the St. Lawrence Seaway, our universal healthcare system and our Canada Pension Plan.Join us with another Canadian hero, Will Abram who at 82 has been educating and making people aware of the importance of using the Bank of Canada to ensure our Canadian Sovereignty for decades.
