2016 was the beginning of the low point in our original business. It got worse from there. Much worse. It took 30 years since 1984 to grow into something great. And only a few months to nearly collapse permanently. In 2025 the road back is being built and this time it is being built for longevity. Will elaborate on the "how" in future posts. But suffice to say that the X founder is helping to navigate.
Good people are highly tolerant of opinions, actions and cultures that diverge from their own. Good people can also identify those with "hidden" agendas. It is indeed unfortunate that some bad actors have swung the pendulum so far "left" that legitimate gains by disadvantaged persons are now in jeopardy. Don't worry, through time the good people will fix that damage too.
Independent, Interesting and Innovative businesses capitalize on their natural strengths such as deep customer relationships, great products and a top tier value proposition.

It certainly appears that Bell and Rogers - Canada's largest telecoms - are colluding with one another on several fronts. They own a retailer together - Glentel - that sells phones and plans. They own the largest TV production company together - Dome Productions. They own the largest Canadian sports and entertainment company together - MLSE. Not Cool and very anti-competitive to the detriment of Canadians. Of course, they will frame it as being about "productivity and efficiency", but to us it looks like an enabler of price fixing.

On AI's copyright problem: Just like back in the 70's when #IBM announced that they would offer a service to have IBM systems digitally store music and make it available via CD burners in record stores for a fee - the record companies said "I don't think so." Well, it's the same thing in our opinion with the use of training data by #AI businesses that plan on making money. Today's computers are creating derivative works from training data autonomously. But it is still derivative of someone else's work, therefore that work needs to be compensated financially EVEN IF that data is in the public domain.
The thing with battery powered electric aircraft is that they don't lose weight as they fly, unlike hydrocarbon fueled ones. Fixed wing aircraft have always been designed with maximum landing weight that is LESS than maximum takeoff weight. So the design of electrics will need stronger landing gear and wing and fuselage structure than is specified now for conventionally fueled aircraft. Therefore more weight and cost and less performance natively.
