example if say we did it apply import
example if say we did it apply import tariffs and taxes to foreign goods
tariffs and taxes to foreign goods
tariffs and taxes to foreign goods coming into our country well it would

innovators and emerging countries have
innovators and emerging countries have looked to us for for innovation and by

looking towards us they have grown and they’ve learned and they’ve taken on
they’ve learned and they’ve taken on
they’ve learned and they’ve taken on their own innovation models China for
their own innovation models China for
their own innovation models China for example is a great example they’re
example is a great example they’re
example is a great example they’re becoming innovative on their own but
becoming innovative on their own but
becoming innovative on their own but they’ve done that by sending droves of
they’ve done that by sending droves of
they’ve done that by sending droves of delegations over here into Silicon
delegations over here into Silicon
delegations over here into Silicon Valley to learn how to become innovative
Valley to learn how to become innovative
Valley to learn how to become innovative when’s the last time we sent delegations
when’s the last time we sent delegations
when’s the last time we sent delegations to China to learn about maybe supply
to China to learn about maybe supply

chain efficiencies or new business

models and by the way we really need to
models and by the way we really need to get smarter about commercializing or
get smarter about commercializing or
get smarter about commercializing or monetizing our innovation
monetizing our innovation
monetizing our innovation we’re very proud of being clever and
we’re very proud of being clever and
we’re very proud of being clever and innovative and smart but are we really
innovative and smart but are we really
innovative and smart but are we really making that much money from them
making that much money from them
making that much money from them couldn’t we make a little bit more but
couldn’t we make a little bit more but
couldn’t we make a little bit more but that’s another topic for another day now
that’s another topic for another day now
that’s another topic for another day now the real kicker for me was when I
the real kicker for me was when I
the real kicker for me was when I discovered that China thinks that
discovered that China thinks that
discovered that China thinks that they’re more innovative than Canada in
they’re more innovative than Canada in
they’re more innovative than Canada in their national innovation index report
their national innovation index report
their national innovation index report they actually ranked Canada at number 20
they actually ranked Canada at number 20
they actually ranked Canada at number 20 and ranked themselves at number 18 so
and ranked themselves at number 18 so
and ranked themselves at number 18 so even the perception of Canada as an
even the perception of Canada as an
even the perception of Canada as an innovator is weakening with emerging
innovator is weakening with emerging
innovator is weakening with emerging markets a little bit alarming so at the
markets a little bit alarming so at the
markets a little bit alarming so at the end of the day what I’m suggesting is
end of the day what I’m suggesting is
end of the day what I’m suggesting is that we need to be more innovative at
that we need to be more innovative at
that we need to be more innovative at innovation we need to recreate our
innovation we need to recreate our
innovation we need to recreate our competitive advantage all right so I’m
competitive advantage all right so I’m
competitive advantage all right so I’m not suggesting at the end of the day
not suggesting at the end of the day
not suggesting at the end of the day that you give up on being nice I’m
that you give up on being nice I’m
that you give up on being nice I’m simply suggesting that you take on a new
simply suggesting that you take on a new
simply suggesting that you take on a new flavor of nice so instead of good old
flavor of nice so instead of good old
