Eliot Pence: Canada's space agency needs a national security and innovation overhaul

Summary

Eliot Pence argues that the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) needs a fundamental overhaul to prioritize national security and innovation. The current CSA model is too slow, bureaucratic, and focused on science rather than the rapid iteration and industry engagement required for space technology leadership. Pence calls for a new approach that treats space as a strategic domain for security, economic competitiveness, and technological sovereignty, drawing comparisons to how other nations have restructured their space agencies around defense and commercial imperatives.
