Where are Canada’s unicorns?

from BIV Today Hosted by Business In Vancouver

On BIV Today… It’s been several years since Canada produced a unicorn company. Is the country getting better at scaling technology startups? Charles Plant (1:24), director of the University of Toronto’s Impact Centre, discusses Canada’s narwhals – the companies with the best shot at becoming world-class competitors. In a word, Jason Turcotte (13:59)– vice-president of development at Cressey Development Group – says Greater Vancouver’s development industry is “frustrated.” He breaks down the challenges facing builders, and how they translate into higher real estate prices. Hayley Woodin hosts, see more at https://biv.com/.

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
