Greetings, and welcome back to the podcast.

This episode, we are joined by Lucy Hargreaves - CEO of Build Canada - a non-profit organization & civic movement seeking to drive economic growth and prosperity in Canada.

Build Canada has expanded from policy memos to nationwide events, open-source tools (e.g., an AI "MP" for bill analysis and a trade barriers tracker), and campus chapters at over 15 universities, fostering a "builder movement" to make Canada the world's most prosperous nation.

Lucy previously served as Vice President of Partnerships and Corporate Affairs at Patch, a San Francisco-based climate impact software startup, where she focused on corporate sustainability initiatives remotely from Canada.

Lucy was Chief Government Relations Officer at Dairy Farmers of Canada, advocating for agricultural policy; an advisor at Invest Ottawa, supporting tech ecosystem growth; and a five-year parliamentary staffer for the Liberal Party, including two years as Chief of Staff to former Cabinet Minister Mona Fortier.

Lucy earned a B.A. from the University of Toronto (Hons), and an MPA from Columbia University where she was an Fulbright Scholar.

Among other things we learned about Cutting Spending, Lowering Regulations & Canadian Optimism.
