Thank you @GoogleDevsIN @GooglePlay

Grinding harder in a system designed to squeeze you isn't a strategy. Real stability comes from leverage you own, not a payroll someone else controls

Entrepreneurship - It's one of those things in life you can't appreciate until you go through the grinding

The best founders I've met in Canada didn't merely arrive with the right answers.

They saw it a through a different lens. Stayed uncomfortable. Built with grit. Not just for North America. For the world. Because constraints don’t shrink ambition, they sharpen it!

Quietly watching the recent AI evolution and Google’s structural edge is hard to miss. Its integrated ecosystem gives it a real shot at hitting the bull’s-eye 🎯

In a lot of 1st-world countries, the “developed” feeling doesn’t end at the airport. It’s the whole country.

In India, it’s often the opposite: the airport feels world-class… and then the moment you step outside and reality hits.

That contrast says everything!

“No thanks” to AI-led interviews said 84% of job seekers

AI can screen résumés - but humans should hire humans

If users are opting out, that’s not innovation — that’s no PMF. #HRtech forgot its customer: humans

Bottomline: No human connection. No real conversation.

There is a story we tell ourselves. It says great things aren’t possible here.

Forget that story. It’s time to tell a different one.

Not even a snowstorm could get in the way of builders & their great ideas for this country.

A very energizing Off The Record with the brilliant @build_canada team.

[Build Canada @build_canada]

In 24 days, the U.S. is threatening to put a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods. This would be devastating to tens of thousands of Canadian businesses.

But today, right NOW, we impose the equivalent of a tariff of 21% between our own provinces through unnecessary rules and standards.

Canada was founded on the principle of free trade between provinces. Yet over the decades, each of the provinces has built a bespoke set of regulations covering goods, services, and work within their jurisdiction.

What that ends up meaning is that today:
- Provincially inspected dairy, eggs, and meat cannot be sold in other provinces.
- Financial planners and nurses need unique licensing every time they cross provincial lines
- Fruits and vegetables in British Columbia can't be sold in Ontario without adjusting the packaging.
- Different provinces have different rules on the kinds of toilet seats that can be used on construction sites!

These barriers create headaches, frustrations, and real economic hardships.

In the face of serious potential international trade issues we cannot afford to let this continue.

Here's how we solve it:
- Fully eliminate all carve outs to the Canada Free Trade Agreement with no exceptions.
- Mandate that if a product, service, accreditation or business registration is approved in one province, it automatically receives ‘deemed approval nationwide.
- Introduce national guidelines to align regulations across provinces, beginning with the highest impact areas and incentivize provinces to adopt these harmonized rules.

This is not rocket science. We can get this done within a year. We need to take this opportunity to stop punching ourselves in the face and truly work for one Canada.

Your credentials should work everywhere in Canada. Your business should be able to sell everywhere in Canada. We have one country of builders, let's have one market for them.

Many of the founders I've worked with understand what 'product positioning' is, but very few understand how to do it...
