Dominion Dynamics Raises $21M CAD Seed Round Led by Georgian to Build Interoperable, Attritable Systems for the Arctic and Allied Defence
"Future deterrence will depend on speed of fielding, economic advantage, and the ability to operate across domains."
Canada’s Fighter Debate Misses the Point: It’s Time to Build, Not Buy
Canada is again absorbed in a debate over fighter jets — whether the Royal Canadian Air Force should remain committed to the F-35 alone or consider adding a European platform such as the Saab Gripen.
Finding Ourselves, Again
Nations endure for two reasons: they know where they come from, and they know where they're going. The United States was forged in rupture — a manifesto, a war, a clean break whose origin story still anchors its identity. Canada’s independence came differently.
Dominion Dynamics’ CEO thinks defence is a “generational opportunity” for Canadian entrepreneurs
Two days after the budget dropped, on the BetaKit Keynote Stage at SAAS NORTH, I got to speak with Dominion Dynamics founder and CEO Eliot Pence. Right now, Dominion Dynamics is building a sensor network platform to aid Arctic surveillance, but Pence’s ultimate goal is to build Canada’s first “defence prime.”
Beyond Programs of Record: The Utility Layer Emerging in Modern Defense
modern defense is again shifting toward capabilities that function as utilities. Persistent sensing, domain awareness, resilient communications, and autonomous monitoring are no longer discrete “capabilities.” They are continuous public services, expected to be available regardless of weather, geography, or manpower constraints.

Defence technology company Dominion Dynamics has completed its first financing, backed almost entirely by Canadian investors, with the goal of establishing a sensor network to collect data and detect threats in the Canadian Arctic.
The Canoe and the Crown: Canada’s Past — and Its Path Forward
Canada has always been a country of two stories. One is written in Hansard debates and legislative preambles, etched into marble in Ottawa and celebrated every July 1. The other is told in logbooks, oral histories, and fading maps — a history of canoes cutting through blackwater rivers, of trading posts rising in remote forests, of men and women pushing beyond the known. Both are true. But only one can guide us into the century ahead.
Canada’s defense future can’t stop at the F-35
On September 22nd, Ottawa is expected to finally settle one of the longest-running procurement sagas in Canadian history: the decision to buy the F-35. For years, the program has been mired in controversy — political reversals, Auditor General scrutiny, ballooning costs. Yet the urgency is real. The F-35 decision speaks not just to fleet recapitalization, but to sovereignty, to alliance integrity, and to whether Canada can credibly defend its own skies.
