Al Calder Parties at the Beach: The August 24th, 2020 Age of Ingenuity

We're ready to go back to work, but co-host Alan Calder thought it best to give a quick update on some of the stories he'd like to cover for the next series of "Age of Ingenuity" vidcasts.

We'll return with all new episodes beginning next week. 

Until then, keep in touch with us on Facebook, Gab, LinkedIn, Minds, Pinterest, Steemit and Twitter. Follow the stories we're tracking on the Canadian Innovation News and Upcoming Events Scoop-It feeds.

"Age of Ingenuity" tracks Canada's "innovation ecosystem," the organizations, agencies and individuals attempting to turn innovative Canadian start-ups into world class, billion dollar "unicorns," able to anchor industries and create jobs.

Laptop Broke So We're Going to the Beach: The August 10th, 2020 Age of Ingenuity

"Age of Ingenuity" producer Chuck Black fell on his laptop while cycling to work last week. He's fine (if a bit embarrassed) but the laptop sustained substantial damage so we're going to take a little break until the poor old Lenovo T470s comes back from repair and we can get back to the business of tracking innovation. 

We'll return with all new episodes beginning August 24th, 2020. Until then, keep in touch with us on Facebook, Gab, LinkedIn, Minds, Pinterest, Steemit and Twitter. Follow the stories we're tracking on the Canadian Innovation News and Upcoming Events Scoop-It feeds. 


We'll also be posting some short form videos wrapped around cell phone technology, much like the video you see above, in order to learn a few new things and keep current on the technology. When we return, we'll have a remote capability and it will be interesting to see where that leads us.

Navdeep Bains & Others Flinging About Buckets of Money: The August 3rd, 2020 Age of Ingenuity

Everyone loves Navdeep Bains, Canada’s innovation minister, especially the innovation community which hungers for those countless semi-trailers full of cash he’s been giving out recently. 

We're going to look at that and we're also going to remember the time when we could ask government ministers hard questions and have a reasonable expectation of receiving an honest answer even for the difficult issues.
