The Canada Project: Taking the Country’s Most Urgent Challenges Head-On
A Special Season of Disruptors, Hosted by John Stackhouse
Canada stands at a crossroads: lead boldly or fall behind. Global uncertainty and a widening productivity gap demand decisive action.
For this special season of Disruptors, John Stackhouse travels the country to meet the visionaries using technology to tackle Canada’s most urgent challenges — and to build a stronger, more competitive nation.
From robotics defending Arctic sovereignty and AI transforming agriculture, to critical minerals powering the clean transition and housing innovations reshaping our cities — each episode reveals how technical ingenuity meets national purpose.
These aren’t just stories of invention — they’re a blueprint for Canada’s future.

How Atlantic Canada is powering Canada’s place in space
For over two centuries, Atlantic Canada has been the launch point for Canada’s ventures into the unknown — from the Grand Banks to global trade routes. Today, that pioneering spirit is looking skyward.
In this episode, Stephen Matier of Maritime Launch Services and Rahul Goel of NordSpace join host John Stackhouse to explore how Canada — the only G7 nation without domestic launch capacity — is closing that gap. Together with Chris Hadfield, they unpack what sovereign access to space means for national security, climate resilience, and technological leadership — and how Nova Scotia and Newfoundland’s emerging space sectors are helping bring Canada into the new space age.
Because if Canada can’t launch its own ideas, it can’t lead its own future.
