Industry minister echoes Shopify calls to boost ambition in Canada

TORONTO — Canada's industry minister has thrown his support behind a call from one of Shopify Inc.'s leaders for the country to get more ambitious.

Among the buzziest talks was one from Shopify president Harley Finkelstein, who told the audience on opening night that he had noted a lack of ambition in Canada that he likened to a"600-pound beaver in the room." "When someone calls me and says, 'I'm thinking of selling my company to Google,' my usual answer is, 'Have you ever thought about one day you buy Google?'" Finkelstein said.

She said the country has to address the lack of tax incentives, willingness to use and purchase Canadian software, and funding for companies, especially in their infancy or"seed stage." However, on Thursday, Champagne argued the country is well-resourced and that talent is teeming in Canada.
