Introduction Meeting environmental and prosperity demands simultaneously is a greater technological challenge than humanity has ever faced. Nevertheless, in today’s time, it may also be the most crucial challenge to overcome. There are many countries that portray the ability to lead the twenty-first century into a sustainable development. Amongst these countries, Canada distinguished itself as a top contender to achieve this goal. Canada has dignified itself in the past by its ability to create and implement public-private collaborations that have built visionary physical infrastructure projects in transportation, communications, and energy (Sugathan, 2011). These collaborations have created the country known today. They have provided the

Canada is already leading the world in many aspects such as economy, workforce, human capital, and technology (Beringer, Wright, and Malone, 2008). Canada’s banking system is much stronger than other countries and provides for a secure economy. Furthermore, Canada has a well-trained workforce and combining that with the upcoming Canadian graduates, there is firm support in the human capital sector (Pierce and Dale, 1999). The highly skilled workforce can lead Canada to implement even more new technologies for renewable energy systems. Despite these advantages, there is one significant thing that Canada needs to put its focus toward in order to become a sustainable superpower. Canada needs to start putting its focus within larger projects, such as expanding hydroelectric power, introducing nuclear-generated heat for the oil sands, upgrading bitumen from the oil sands, and most importantly, interconnecting Canada through its electricity networks. These projects will provide the workforce of Canada with the focus and guidance they need to raise Canada’s performance in sustainable energy resources to the level of a sustainable energy …show more content…
