Ottawa subsidizing foreign tech giants through $4-billion small-business program, industry leaders say

The federal government announced the Canada Digital Adoption Program earlier this month, which provides grants and loans for small and medium-sized businesses to pay for a variety of digital needs, from social-media advertising to network security software.

In announcing the $4-billion program, the government said its goal is to make Canadian companies more competitive by helping them adopt new technologies that could make them more productive and profitable. “My big concern would be, who ultimately is benefiting from this?” Mr. Hinton said. “And you see this from government and policy-makers quite a bit, is the confusion around what counts as innovation. Adopting someone else’s technology is not innovation. Being the one having their technology adopted is.”

Digital Main Street is also one of a dozen providers of support services to small businesses that sign up with the government’s program to improve their e-commerce services. The organization told The Globe and Mail that its advisers are trained in how to help small businesses set up online stores and sell their products and services through social media.

She said she would also like to see the government track how much of the program’s funds end up being spent on digital advertising.

Hey GongShow at the Mall, it seems like your typical fanboy trolls are following right along with your cherry-picked reporting...of course, none of them are smart enough to actually read and cut and paste garbage instead. Ah, such are the clients of the Globe and Mail.

robbing from the poor to give to the rich is liberal tradition!

The Canadians are alway so nice & polite, eh ?

Focus on youth jobs may undermine $4-billion digital-adoption program, business groups sayBusiness groups say they are concerned that a new $4-billion federal program intended to upgrade the technology used by small enterprises may be undermined by its dual focus on boosting youth employment It's always businesses wanting a handout. They want experienced labour but don't want to pay for it. They want staff that's trained in their specialized systems but they don't want to train their recruits. If they don't want gov't help, fine. Leave them to their own devices.
