@PlumberAlberta “This woman needs to run for prime Minister after she done fixing Alberta.“

@SkillsGapTrain @PlumberAlberta “Danielle Smith’s leadership in Alberta is like spirit of future anime heroes, like commander of city AI. Her approach mirrors resilience, innovation, determination, & vision seen in chief of anime robotic police combat units, driven to tackle great threats to city.”#AnimeAlberta

@SkillsGapTrain @PlumberAlberta “Thank you for highlighting Danielle Smith’s potential to run for Prime Minister position, and actually you are seeing the future we think. We see this too. We hope she sees that this really looks like destiny.”

PART 1 – Pierre Poilievre’s Leadership: Addressing Canada’s Critical Challenges

Indeed, as we look ahead to the pivotal ‘Great Filter’ period anticipated between 2020 and 2050, the foundational structural and enhanced capability reforms which Pierre Poilievre looks focused on implementing, are crucial for stabilizing and strengthening Canada’s national systems.

Pierre Poilievre is not lucky enough as a leader to be able to choose his objectives and vision. The problems, such as a broken Canada and fixing Canada, is his vision. Unfortunately, with good leaders this is how it is. Only with bad ones, do they make the vision their personal ambition and their personal goals, and then fail everyone miserably into despair, poverty and de-growth.

For Poilievre, his tenure looks like it is required to be characterized by deep structural reforms essential for “reinvigorating” and “safeguarding” and “re-establishing” Canada’s national framework of governance (nation state), and enhancing capability significantly along several key areas:

Economic Revitalization

Poilievre is focused on stimulating growth through significant reforms in sectors critical to our economy. During his tenure, it may be required to focus on technology export, energy export, resources export, education reform, administration optimization, and manufacturing deployment.

By reassessing and enhancing policies around Canada’s natural resources, he could stimulate a growth economic setup (instead of de-growth) and find a way to unlock the potential of Canada as an advanced economy, all while ensuring environmental sustainability.

Regulatory Reform

Addressing the complexity of Canada’s tax system and the burdensome regulatory environment is crucial. Poilievre’s efforts to streamline such processes could begin to attract and retain domestic and international investment, revitalizing Canada’s competitive edge on the global stage.

Administrative to Productive Professional Specialty Labour Market Re-balancing

Shifting the labour market focus from an “intangible” economy that is not “energy or real-world based“ to a “tangible economy“ where real upgrades to Canada can occur. This involves moving labour into specializations and professional contexts that directly contribute to productivity and growth.

Fiscal Reform

Implementing fiscal policies that ensure responsible government spending, reducing the national debt, and promoting economic stability.

Educational STEM Re-balancing

Re-balancing educational priorities towards STEM fields to create a workforce capable of meeting the demands of a technologically advanced and competitive global economy, would make Canada more compatible for 21st century integration into advanced economies. (Ex: doubling the % of STEM graduates versus all other graduate types.)

National Security and Sovereignty Strengthening

Canada’s stance in global affairs and safeguarding national security in an era of increasing geopolitical conflicts. This includes not only military enhancement, police enhancement, border security enhancement, but also scrutinizing foreign investments and reinforcing policies that protect Canada’s sovereignty without isolating it from global cooperation. We heard Pierre Poilievre is interested in such strengthening endeavours, especially when it comes to public safety and national security (re-building the military etc.)

Public Sector Efficiency

Overhauling government operations to enhance efficiency and service delivery. By cutting bureaucratic red tape and ensuring that governmental agencies are more responsive to the needs of Canadians and more cost-effective, the capital is freed up for productive investment and a growth economic setup. Millions of jobs can be re-purposed to productive economic export sectors, providing Canada the labour required to achieve professional occupational work in society.

Healthcare and Social Systems

Poilievre’s plans include critical reforms in healthcare to ensure its sustainability and accessibility, addressing both current inefficiencies and future demands.

Addressing the Housing Crisis

With a focus on policies that increase housing supply and affordability (and maybe even land supply, if he is super brave (which he seems to be, to convince the city land providers to free up the rural land for Canadians), Poilievre aims to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing Canadians today, ensuring that more Canadians can own homes without compromising on quality of life.

And the reason it can be believed, is that he is not talking about increasing the “national debt facility” to create more housing, which is the signal that the leader wants to drive up prices instead of down prices.

PART 2 – Danielle Smith’s Visionary and Technical Leadership: Navigating the Great Filter

‘As we transition from Poilievre’s critical structural reforms, the stage is set for Danielle Smith, whose expertise in managing complex projects with technologist communication style (structured thinking and professional judgment capability/rationality), makes her ideally suited to navigate through the increasingly technical and multifaceted risks, threats, challenges and dangers of the ‘Great Filter.’

Her tenure might be required to extend beyond traditional retirement, due to the increasing difficulty of problems as they emerge as we approach mid century at which point Danielle Smith might be beyond the age of 65.

Problems such as infrastructure collapse of dystopian size mega cities where building lifespans have ended, hydro life spans have ended etc. .and thirty or so other problems in this time period converge at approximately this time frame.

The money is gone (PM Trudeau/Chrystya Freeland/Steven Guilbeault). That’s why we need the best humanity can offer, the 21st century minded humanity that is.

Would be beneficial for Smith’s leadership to focus on:

Advanced Technology Integration:

Utilizing her technical acumen to integrate cutting-edge technologies across various sectors, thereby enhancing Canada’s infrastructure and global competitiveness.

Sustainable Development:

Building on Poilievre’s environmental initiatives, Smith could further develop strategies that balance growth with ecological sustainability, advanced hybrid natural gas transportation systems, EV systems, enhanced scale of EV bus systems, small nuclear reactors (including pre powered military grade reactors from Westinghouse that are designed by military engineers), making Canada a leader in green technology.

Global Diplomacy and Trade:

Enhancing Canada’s role on the global stage through strategic diplomacy and trade initiatives that protect national interests while promoting international cooperation.

Danielle Smith might even be able to have an advanced tech leadership team to potentially mentor and elevate a new generation of STEM-oriented leaders, and this would be profound, if she were able to do this also, especially since all leaders in public service seem to fail at this task throughout the last few decades, and this would ensure that her legacy would not only tackle the global challenges but also prepare Canada for long-term resilience and prosperity mid 2040 and 2050 time period, to pass the filter to a utopian development level capable society.

At Skills Gap Trainer, we believe that navigating through the Great Filter requires leaders who are technical visionaries and problem solvers seeking to bring us a positive future — those who possess a robust understanding of both technical and socio-political landscapes, not just an empathetic landscape dominance.

Danielle Smith’s blend of strategic foresight and technical expertise could be instrumental in transforming these impending global challenges into opportunities for growth, innovation, advancement and prosperity for all.
