Quote confirmed verbatim. Multiple sources (The Logic, Financial Times via secondary coverage) attribute the exact wording "We want to make sure that governments and companies have an option between the hyperscalers and the hegemon" to Evan Solomon, Canada's federal AI Minister, in the context of the Cohere-Aleph Alpha merger. Author attribution correct. The "for" vote on "Democratic middle powers should jointly develop frontier AI and share its benefits globally" aligns: Solomon is championing exactly such a Canada-Germany alternative to US (and Chinese) AI dominance. Source URL returned 403 but content was independently corroborated. Year 2026 current.
