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.

Defending the Deep: Securing Canada’s Underwater Sovereignty
Canada’s future security doesn’t just lie in the skies or across its borders — it lies beneath the waves. Newfoundland and Labrador, long defined by its connection to the North Atlantic, is emerging as the front line in Canada’s underwater defence and surveillance revolution.
In this episode, Kraken Robotics’ David Shea reveals how cutting-edge sonar and subsea intelligence are giving Canada new eyes and ears in the ocean depths — technology once reserved for superpowers, now developed and deployed from St. John’s. And General Rick Hillier, former Chief of Defence Staff, joins host John Stackhouse to explore why control of our underwater domain is critical to national sovereignty, Arctic readiness, and alliance security in an age of rising global tension.
