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
Great conversation with leaders in the tech community on creating an inclusive, diverse and innovative ecosystem. @redthreads8@raywalia and I had a blast hosting this one. #FrontierCollective

Not sure about Toronto, Montreal or the rest of 🇨🇦. They don’t seem to have a @notionport in those cities. 😎

I love how Vancouver has been embracing technologies like AR/VR and NFTs to push the boundaries of public spaces with these incredible art installations! @Van_Biennale Kevin Navia, Art by Jessica Angel
Our own @dburgar included in the @BIVnews BC500 list for helping build and grow the VR/AR industry to become a global powerhouse. Congrats to all the others listed!

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-…
