People keep saying “welcome back” today after the Spellbook announcement. I keep correcting them. This last 5 years were probably the hardest building years of my career.
Post-Shopify I simply went heads down. Built products. Shipped a new product from nothing, new company, and a boat. Rebuilt my technical instincts from scratch. Learned AI by using it 12 hours a day instead of talking about it on panels.

Go Fizzy!
Economic growth is literally everything. People fondly remember the times of high GDP growth and treat the ones with low growth as the dark ages. Growth means positive sum thinking becomes the optimal strategy and this is the bedrock of civic society.
We must build more companies and export products to make Canada better. No other mechanism exists. The schools are obscuring this fact and media often distorts it. Kudos to the Globe for getting it right here. Nature is healing?
This policy is about creating an incentive for $ to be invested back into Canada and create a structure that encourages commercial activity - resulting in job and wage growth.
It’s quite an ambitious policy - if it works it has a flywheel effect that would continue on.
