If I could redesign college education for smart people who don't know what they want to be, it would be a single intensive year with these essential courses:

- Python programming
- Probability & Statistics
- Corporate Finance
- Sales 101
A moment that was bigger than any city. Congrats @Raptors - 2019 Champs!

Wow - what a week in Canadian tech! First @Intelex@MarkJaine@steve1johnson @mikebaggley gets acquired for $570M USD, then @WaveHQ@tksimpson@marshallexec gets acquired for $404M USD, which = $1B USD in Canadian startup exits in the last 5 days! May Due Diligence Be With You.
One of the best, talking about a super important topic “culture can eat strategy for breakfast everyday”. Make sure you work on building the right one.
Good meeting with @CollisionHQ CEO, @paddycosgrave today. #CollisionConf is bringing together tech leaders from all over the world, right here in Toronto - so they can share bright ideas, & we can show why Canada is a global innovation hub & one of the best places to do business.
@MuskokaAdam@OPP_COMM_ER Fingers crossed it's not! We're at east gate, someone just called the OPP. Not much information they could provide, waiting game for now
