Back in Ottawa (that’s Canada’s capital for my American friends or the geographically challenged). This time for the National Angel Capital Organization conference – more tech, more VCs, and yes, more demos! #Ottawa #CapitalCity #NACOC2025 #VentureCapital #TechConference #Startups #AngelInvesting

Not exactly how I pictured my debut at the Second City Comedy Club… but here I am, on stage at Ignite 2025! The best part? I got to take a backstage tour and see where Canadian alum like Mike Meyers, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara got their start. #SecondCityComedyClub #TechAndLaughs

Yes...my BBC segment kicked off with a moose call. Why? Because if you're going to talk Canadian democracy, might as well go full north. 🇨🇦🦌 Full video is online, but here's a snippet of our chat about — what’s at stake, what voters are watching and why this moment matters. #DemocracyWithAntlers

Another year at the CIX Summit, joining some familiar journalists from other outlets to talk tech with VCs, entrepreneurs, and tech leaders.

I had the absolute best time organizing and welcoming some friends from the NYT, Globe, Post, CTV, etc. to a lil gathering of media friends and folks. Starting off 2025 with real community building in mind. Thank you Soho House for partnering and providing a space for drinks, music and talks.

Popped by Pinterest’s offices not so long ago and the world will be painted cherry this year says Pinterest. A lot of surprising picks because, honestly, who could have predicted that pickle and cherry martinis would be trend of the year? 🍒🥒 #cherry #pickle #style2025 #tech #toronto

Starting the year by reflecting on the seven deaths I've experienced in the last five years—including a parent, grandparents, and godparents—might not seem uplifting, but it's an important topic. In my latest, I explore how AI is being used to digitally resurrect the voices and lives of the dead.

Feeling like the top tech geek 👑 in the country—and the biz — because our CIRA show was just named best tech podcast in the country! Thanks for tuning in and making this possible. Who knew all those late-night interviews (and caffeine runs) would pay off?!

This week I talk about the great digital migration that everyone is talking about. While this isn’t the end of X (not even close) there is a reason why this move is making waves PS I cant think of a better place to post my latest column about BlueSky then, well, BlueSky! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Guess who’s in the latest issue of @chatelainemag? Thrilled to chat about VentureKids work to highlight women in STEM in the U.S. and Canada, a North American edit a thon partnership with California’s award-winning Elementary Institute of Science and more chatelaine.com/living/wikip...

🙋🏾‍♀️ I always wondered what it would’ve been like if I had taken the leap and attended university in the UK (instead of Canada). Now I’ll get to find out… sort of. I’ll be at the University of Edinburgh talking tech for Global Alum Day alongside Dr Eve Poole (OBE) who wrote Robot Souls

Made a lil trip to the New York Stock Exchange this week.

Throughout February I got to meet and connect with a different type of entrepreneur: farmers. One could argue that farmers are the *original* entrepreneur and face a lot of the same challenges other tech upstarts do … just without the Patagonia vests. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

With Canada facing a looming disaster of having too few farmers as existing operators retire, some see young, racialized farmers as key to feeding Canadians into the future.

Young, skilled and ready to innovate, Black farmers are taking on Canada’s agricultural challenges

My latest in @globeandmail “It’s all made her something of a power broker in Canada’s tech ecosystem, while she’s promoted women and diversity along the way.” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Them: You don't look like you write about tech ! Me: Well, you don't look ignorant and uninformed, yet here we are!
