Your odds of being great at anything are directly proportional to your willingness to suck at it for a long time.

I posted about Ontario's wildfires a month ago, showing how @DominionDynamic's platform, AURANet could easily do early alert detection in Ontario's vast northern regions, like California's ALERTCalifornia's AI camera network (which has already detected more than 1,200 confirmed wildfires, identifying roughly one-third before the first 911 call). Over the past year we've been building and deploying AURANet across Ontario—built by Canadians in Ontario, using Canadian components, alongside the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes, and partnered with indigenous partners like Gooseberry Tourism operating in some of Canada's most remote environments, like Peawanuck, ON. Today, AURANet supports persistent monitoring of remote airstrips. The same architecture could just as easily support AI-enabled wildfire detection across the province. Every fire starts small. It's a public policy decision to keep them that way. It's time to invest in Canadian dual use and defence companies building technology that can solve this problem, now.

Massive respect to Rahul Goel, who is spending his own money to try and give Canada a rocket that can reach orbit. He's not a billionaire space guy. He's a very humble, level-headed dude who grew up in an immigrant family in Canada and is risking it all. @kyliebytes went to Canada to do some wonderful reporting on Rahul and the country's space ambitions youtube.com/watch?v=sCMmtJ…

Nearly $3 billion in development charges is sitting idle in Toronto because projects must be fully funded up front before the money can be used. 🔒 Modern financing tools like tax-increment financing would help put that money to work building the infrastructure Toronto needs to support growing communities. The rules are in the way. 🚧 Read the memo ➡️ buildcanada.com/toronto/memos/…

We can achieve this at a federal level too. We can develop automated systems that are compatible with each other, save resources, and help us spend more time building and less time on navigating bureaucracy. Read Benjamin Alarie's memo: buildcanada.com/memos/ai-first… 📰

The partnership between Paul Reed Smith and Carlos Santana pre-dates the founding of our company. To this day, Santana continues to hold Paul and our guitars up to the highest standard from the moment he picks one up to play!

Too few Torontonians vote. 📣 Just 29.2% cast a ballot in Toronto's 2022 mayoral election – the lowest turnout in half a century. Hand voters a long list of independents with no platforms, and they tune out. Municipal parties + a real mayoral mandate would change that. 🗳️ Read the memo ➡️ buildcanada.com/toronto/memos/…

“Defence manufacturing is this generation’s Welland Canal. Supply chains are the industrial corridors of this century, and they will be built very soon. The only question is in which province or territory.”  In @TheTorontoSun, CEO @EliotPence argues that as past generations built the infrastructure that shaped Ontario's economy, Ontario has a narrow window to build the defence industrial base that will define the next century. ⬇️ torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Thanks Felipe. And you are closer to the truth than you can imagine. Mike and his (then) fellow junior HBS professor Mark Fuller, who left the faculty to become founding CEO of Monitor, had a side-hustle while junior faculty members at HBR. They were rock band promoters! Yup. The worked to build the careers of up and coming rock bands in the greater Boston area. I can't specify whether that included punk rock but I wouldn't be surprised because they would have been doing that in the late-70s/early 80s. R
Felipe Bovolon@bovolox

I just published "Michael Porter (Still) Is Punk Rock" on LinkedIn! With 5 of his perspectives that will sound incredibly CONTRARIAN to modern executives Not coincidentally, blunt viewpoints that @RogerLMartin also defends, with links to his articles! Link below 👇🏻

how does this reconcile with the “we fear AI” meme?!
Build Canada@build_canada

@AnthropicAI Interesting insight from this release: Canadian Claude usage per capita is 4.4 times greater than the global average. Canadians are building with AI. 🇨🇦

"We've been telling ourselves a story that undermines what it means to be a Canadian." CEO @EliotPence launched Dominion to change the country. But in doing so, he also wants to reshape the narrative of what it means to be Canadian today. In a wide-ranging conversation, Eliot spoke with @BetaKit's Doug Soltys (@tron) about Canadian ambition, building a systems integrator in Canada, the roadblocks Canadian defence companies still face, and the path that brought him home after two decades abroad.

Tobi Lutke proposes an immigration solution: "With so many people wanting to immigrate to Canada, we have the ability to accept only those who want to contribute to the Canadian economy and society. This proposal aims to give more people a chance to show they wish to be part of our society and then reward them based on their efforts. Canada must transform its immigration system to focus not just on who we let in but how we recognize their ongoing commitment to Canada. In this way we can directly address the “leaky bucket” by ensuring that only immigrants who demonstrate commitment to Canada through sustained economic contribution, community involvement, and social integration advance to permanent residency and citizenship — filtering out those who would obtain status merely as a passport of convenience before departing" @tobi
