More testing, more data, more progress. Our flight test campaigns are ramping up as we aim to field the smallest precision-guided interceptor - at low cost and at scale. Very proud of the monumental efforts of the team at North Vector Dynamics. 🚀🇨🇦 youtu.be/3DJlAkAFVq8
Canada’s age-old stigma against defence spending will cost us dearly The latest from the Globe's business commentary, by Omar Saleh, Paul Ziadé: theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
Great article by @EliotPence "Scale is the next challenge. Drones – especially inexpensive ones – shouldn’t be treated like traditional aircraft. They’re closer to bullets than bombers: cheap, fast, disposable and essential for modern operations." theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
I look forward to listening to these two awesome Canadians on my evening commute. @astrorahul_ is a force of nature, soon to become a Canadian household name. @evansammccann is increasingly becoming an important voice in Canadian technology circles. Amidst the cacophony of…
My conversation with @astrorahul_ the Founder and CEO of @Nord_Space! NordSpace is developing an end-to-end responsive space launch system, proudly in Canada, to provide low-cost and rapid access to orbit. By developing not just their workhorse launch vehicle, Tundra, but…

BREAKING: Mercedes-Benz is integrating Microsoft, $MSFT, Teams into its vehicles
Let's go!
NordSpace is rapidly approaching its first launch! The historic launch from Canadian soil of our Taiga sub-orbital rocket, powered by our 3D printed Hadfield engines, will represent a massive leap forward for Canadian sovereignty in space and for assured access to it. We’re…
We’re going to share major announcements at @ACADA_Atlantic MASS this week alongside the province of Newfoundland, several ministers and industrial partners. Investment, construction, launches, and more for @Nord_Space’s Atlantic Spaceport Complex. Stay tuned and keep looking up!
I think "urgent" means something completely different in the government lexicon
Five years after its announcement, and despite being an "urgent operational requirement," the Canadian Armed Forces will be fielding US-made X-MADIS vehicle-mounted counter-drone system in 2028.
Latest by North Vector Dynamics CCO Omar Saleh and me in today's @globeandmail "Canada has spent the better part of 50 years moralizing itself out of national capability. We don’t just lack a defence sector. We lack a public vocabulary for why defence matters. We treat military…
1/9 Early days at @anduriltech — I remember flying around the world trying to get folks in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to listen to us. We could usually get the meeting (thanks @traestephens). But then came the hard part: How do you get them to pay you? Preferably, a lot.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to meet with our team! We probably picked the most difficult industry to work in, but we have a fighting chance to succeed thanks to the monumental effort by our team and the support of people like you.
Want to shout out to the people at North Vector Dynamics for sitting down with me to talk about their solutions, the Albertan defence industry, and CUAS. Wonderful discussions all around and can't wait to connect again! So many Canadian companies doing so much cool stuff.
Blink and you'll miss it! The world's smallest precision-guided interceptor is taking shape and is being built in Canada! Interest in our CUAS solutions is growing domestically and abroad. There's increasing recognition that fielding low-cost, highly-mobile precision systems at…

How is Microsoft Teams still an industry-standard product? It's unbelievably bad along so many dimensions.
We'll do our part
So many amazing defense talent and defense tech companies in Calgary! Let’s turn it into El Segundo North.
I was apparently incorrectly taught the Santa story while growing up
"I described him today as Santa Claus. He's coming, and his sled was full of all sorts of stuff. Now he's taking off back to the North Pole. He's going to sort it out, and then he's going to call us," - Premier Doug Ford on PM Mark Carney #cdnpoli
Dear Canada, You have a massive brain-drain problem. You train world-class engineers just to see them leave for real opportunities. You have top-tier university scientists conducting disruptive research without a clear plan to commercialize and retain the IP domestically. It's…
Waterloo kids are 20% of our apps for our summer startup program in SF. Crazy Where are the other universities??
Big splash incoming this week... Stay tuned for a big announcement in Canadian defense. #defense #cdnpoli
