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...

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.

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.
Canadians can now return their Amazon orders through Staples.

This is my kind of place. We need more of this.
L & Y Electronics in Woodbridge VA.
What a store! Massive amounts of hardware and software, old and new!
Motherboards, CPUs, RAM, power supplies, software, games, peripherals, other electronics.
Thrifting is alive and well here!
I spent a lot of money here... 🧵

Use of recycled materials has dropped from 9.1% in 18 to 7.2% in 23. This is terrible... as an economy if we are constantly re-manufacturing our goods with new materials, we are wasting time, energy and money in lieu of greater productivity and production. #CircularEconomy

When people talk right to repair this is the standard of service we’re talking about…. #RightToRepair

So with farm equipment and wheelcars in Colorado and Minnesota taking on appliances, enterprise compute and things like HVAC, a full #righttorepair law will eventually be pieced together... 🤞

The first appliance Right to Repair is in place, thanks to Minnesota!

I’ve built 261 working 13” MacBook Airs in about 15 days! These came from mountains of incomplete and broken “junk” lots that are scrapped more often than not. Now on to the 11” Air piles! #RightToRepair #righttorefurbish
This is why we need control of the devices we buy. #righttorepair telegraph.co.uk/money/consum…
