Thanks again for a fascinating article on a topic far removed from what most of us do on a daily basis! It is encouraging to see such innovation and industry happening in Canada. Your long articles remind me of the days when we would spend a happy weekend reading Saturday Night magazine. I look forward to your work as eagerly...

I subscribe to a few substacks that deal with science and tech, but obviously they don't focus on Canadians. As a proud Canuck I appreciate being updated on the work of our citizens changing the world. So thanks for taking a break from Ottawa to bring this information to our attention.

"The luxury of failing fast: try something, find what’s not working, and adjust. He was able to make rapid progress." The way I learned, and probably most that prevail eventually.

I felt like applauding throughout. Lemons turned into lemonade; societal improvements prioritized even when resources are tight - and then the serendipity, as if there were karma, and virtue was rewarded.

I think that Canada is a more-likely place than nearly any, to produce such a story, and that it is justly, not just by happenstance, a Canadian story.
