I would offer a trigger warning but I think Canada deserves to be a little uncomfortable right now. As @CFWIJ reported, Canada has rated highest for online abuse of women journalists in Sept. I got this for doing an episode on Annamie Paul yesterday.We’re on nicknames now. @caj

Today marks the 10th 🦄 in Vancouver - born and bred in 31-months! Not sure about Toronto, Montreal or the rest of 🇨🇦. They don’t seem to have a @notionport in those cities. 😎
🦄 BC's latest unicorn: Construction tech co. @NexiiBuilds closed its 6th funding round, an infusion of capital that values the 31-month-old firm at $1.55B. Inside the construction tech company’s mission to become the “Tesla of buildings." 👇🏾 vantechjournal.com/p/nexii-u…

Interesting, if they would look at @launchacademyhq @raywalia’s track record of incubating over 6000 entrepreneurs, creating over 4000 jobs, collectively raising $1.2 Billion in funding and being a foundation to BC’s tech ecosystem they would have a different opinion 🤷🏻

This is as scathing an indictment of publicly funded accelerators and incubators as you can get from a Canadian government official. Great story by @clabrow with an assist by @muradhem. thelogic.co/news/innovation-…
