I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious and I like cheese, bacon and any combination of the two.... also 🇨🇦

@MartinGTobias It's structural because the mobile phone companies control the customer and thus want a slice. If you try to go around them, they cut you off their platform, and you lose the customer.

@MartinGTobias @DatabuttonHQ As an aside, I think we need to get T-shirts made with "a prompt is not a product."

@oldgravy Look at the competition in BC and specifically on the island. It's NDP vs CONs. The strategy makes sense.

Here is the Canadian innovation problem in a nutshell. @JonathanWNV gives 41M to a mine project to get greener with no commitment to CDN tech. Then he goes to AB to announce 13.4M to develop carbon mgmt systems into a Uni system with a 0.8% ROI. We have some things to rethink...

@vancolour This is a circular dilemma where both sides are stuck in a cycle of financial pressure and clearly you want the hammer to fall on the landlord. What if it was a family trying to get ahead and need the property to be min. cash flow neutral to maintain the biz?

@oldgravy The US industry is also spreading out. Hot space is Greenville SC. It makes sense if you think about it: overhead is lower, QOL is better, and it’s a lot easier to make connections with local companies and institutions, and try out new products. Wonder if that happens in Canada

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

Interesting US data. I wonder if this has to do with the changes to the H-1B or if it's a bigger trend that we should be watching. It would be great to see similar data for Canada.

Vancouver has never been a hub for headquarters. Does it matter? For decade gov's have chased these orgs. Is a better path building our local economy/community and focusing on our strengths? Its been done. Austin has UofT and homegrown SXSW. Time to look inside and not out.

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

Used this yesterday. It was quick and painless. When I talked to the staples staff it seems like they are just a hub that gathers for an Amazon pick up. Smart for both parties as it brings people to Staples and it avoids a lag in returns via another delivery service.

[Globalnews.ca @globalnews]

Canadians can now return their Amazon orders through Staples.

Its time that we get back to basics in our tech industry. We need more events focused on building and not real estate and accounting.

Vancouver, what are you working on?

Minimum Viable Demos

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

This incredibly disappointing. I hope the ABC council will respond.

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

@oldgravy @trevortombe Questions… what’s the opportunity cost of delaying further the spend on additional housing and are you looking at this debt against the yield curve to understand its future costs? The analysis seems myopic by looking at spend and not balancing with benefits.

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

@bmann Wise and EQ have a 9500 limit per 24hrs so I don't know if the movement will help. Also EQ does not do its own FX so you get hammered with Wise this way. #lookedeverywhereforthisfeature

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

@MartinGTobias Its more than customer obsession its understanding value creation for the customer. You can be obsessed without understanding building the trifecta of ease of adoption, use and better ROI.

[Glen Lougheed @glougheed]

If an OEM of train infrastructure bricking trains so we have to buy new ones doesn't infuriate... #righttorepair

@peter Your ad space is often 3x more valuable if you provide good location data to the exchange.
