What a ridiculous piece of "expert" commentary - the fact that one pension plan in OHIO has a management issue HAS ZERO to do in affirming that Canadian pension funds are structured to prevent mismanagement benefitscanada.com/news/cir-news-…
Is this really the least bit surprising? Fully remote employees have higher levels of loneliness: report benefitscanada.com/benefits/healt…
CASH CRUNCH (The Globe and Mail (Ontario Edition)), Jul 26, 2024 Why on earth are these bad investment decisions getting so much press. you buy a stock it goes down or you buy a business that fails - you lose money - that just they way investing work globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281908…
Ok so let me follow this logic - you buy the condo at the peak of the mkt in 2021for $650k, you try to game a down mkt by listing it for $599k &. go “no bid” so your response is to reprice it at a premium to your top of the mkt purchase price at $689K? Wow apple.news/A4UdxJrAxTky80…
One of these things is not like the other - can you pick the athlete? Great golf day with Connor McDavid, Mitch Marner and friends hosted by the CIBC team
Sad to hear this from many entrepreneurs. My 2 cents, instead of putting so much effort in planning to leave, why don’t we unite and fight for economic environment that supports company building and wealth creation here in Canada 🇨🇦 the current regime will be over turned within 15 months and we will go back to rewarding ambition and risk taking.
Great Canadian founder moving to Austin! Anyone have advice on O1/visas?
So today, a second-time successful entrepreneur let me know he's left Canada taking the startup he's working on with him—the second one in as many days. We're losing the war for global entrepreneurial talent and winning the war for food delivery drivers. It isn't sustainable.
@PeterASinger looking lean and not too mean my friend!
This is what engaged capital with a vision to being impactful for investors, the province and the country does! #cvca theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
The proposed changes incentivize investors to re-domicile 🇨🇦 IP outside of 🇨🇦 & to have 100% of the investment & value creation accrue elsewhere. Also encourages building the team outside 🇨🇦, thus eliminating job creation and foreign investment #cvca theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
Really important inflexion point as @LumiraVentures company Transposon Receives US FDA Fast Track Designation for TPN-101 for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy prn.to/4azxRXQ
Wrong ... healthcare is NOT “federally procured but distributed provincially.” Healthcare is funded provincially & federally (transfer payments), Healthcare innovation is approved Federally (HPB) but procurement decisions are 100% provincial betakit.com/vantage-points… via @BetaKit
The really concerning stat for me is that foreign CVC engagement in CDN deals fell to 12% of deals, a 5 year low. This is in stark contrast to our experience in US LS deals where CVC engagement is way up. betakit.com/report-canadia… via @BetaKit
Unfortunately what the @cvca president forgot to mention or what @BetaKit failed to report yet again was the momentum in #lifesciences , with 2 $150+m VC led #PIPES & another $2+ billion realization betakit.com/q1-canadian-vc… via @BetaKit
As someone who manages other people’s capital for a living, these stories never fail to amaze. While I am sympathetic to those who lost “some or all of their life savings” I am uncertain that it is “trust” vs greed that drives these allocations globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281573…
Loved @OntInnovation Minister Vic Fedeli’s comments - “we are pivoting from our focus on EV to Life Sciences” thank you - this matters #cvca @investontario @LifeSciencesON
In fact much of the slump accrues to sectors other than life sciences which enjoyed another strong Q anchored in a $2B exit and multiple 100+m financings - Depressing headline numbers of the venture-capital slump don’t tell the full story #cvca globe2go.pressreader.com/article/282011…
You can’t make this up. Weeks after announcing regressive capital gains tax reforms that will retro-actively penalize those who have invested in risky businesses & disincentivize future investment - Ottawa urges more support for riskier businesses #cvca globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281883…
It's not just about prostate Biopsy! talk and live demo from @HidelbrandoMota showing how he uses #microultrasound for pre-robotic surgery planning. #ExactVu has a multitude of uses all along the prostate cancer patient pathway! @FocalOneHifu @EDAPTMS #prostatecancer #urology
Not really sure they did. Just quoting data from their survey without actually taking a position themselves - despite this data being an amazing foundation for coming out strongly against the tax grab on entrepreneurs
Glad to see that you three have found your voice on this topic. Better late than never.
