Canada and Norway are building closer ties as Arctic partners.

Good to sit down today with Norway’s Minister of Higher Education and Research, @sigrunaa

We talked about how we can work together on innovation, Arctic research, and responsible AI — and where we can go further, together.

Le Canada et la Norvège renforcent leurs liens en tant que partenaires dans l'Arctique.

Ce fut un plaisir de m'entretenir aujourd'hui avec Sigrun Aasland, ministre norvégienne de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche.

Nous avons discuté de la manière dont nous pouvons collaborer dans les domaines de l'innovation, de la recherche arctique et de l'IA responsable, ainsi que des domaines dans lesquels nous pouvons aller plus loin, ensemble.

@ruffoloj watched a @SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from the front row this week!

The payload? Kepler Communications Inc. satellites — a Canadian company building data centers in the sky.

We're talking orbital compute, real-time processing, and laser-linked networks connecting satellites like a mesh in space. This isn't science fiction. It's happening now. And Canada is at the center of it.

We also discussed this and more on this week's Tank Talks Rundown, including:

✅ @JRikhtegar report on Canadian Venture Capital - how 2025 was our worst VC fundraising year since 2016 and what this means for the ecosystem
✅ Why "capital is fungible" is a comforting myth at the seed stage
✅ The barbell effect crushing mid-sized VC firms
✅ Nvidia's $20B @GroqInc deal and what it means for Canadian returns
✅ Trump's DOJ pressure on Jerome Powell and what political uncertainty does to markets

This episode offers a crucial reality check, inspired by the latest in space tech.
