I’d guess because Canadians often rely on American tech infrastructure by default, and current events are shining a light on the vulnerability inherent in that arrangement.

Building a "Canadian equivalent" of something else is a great way to get money from the Canadian government right now. In addition to direct subsidies/grants, the government has a buy Canadian mandate.
