Canada will get left behind if it doesn’t start innovating fast. And that could have not just a winning effect on its defence capabilities but also it’s an opportunity to stimulate other industries.  Host Stephen Marche explores the advent of drone warfare with Tim Mak, Kyiv-based publisher of The Counteroffensive; and Cameron Chell, a Canadian aerospace and defence tech entrepreneur at Dragonfly, shares how the nascent Canadian drone industry can drive technological innovation, not just in the defence sphere but also in a multitude of other uses that will bolster the country’s economy.  Follow the Gloves Off podcast here: https://www.gloves-off.ca/season-2   Host: Stephen Marche Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher) Special thanks: Dory Smith (Director of Advertising and Partnerships) Further Reading: Gloves Off Research , see EP. 205 for details about today’s episode Canadian Shield Institute Next month on Off The Record we are back to our call-in show format.
