I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.

CMD Capital's @mattroberts explains the impact of #Budget2024's capital gains tax increase on #CDNtech VCs.
Today BetaKit is launching our Innovation Leaders program, a new building block in our evolving business model for independent tech journalism. Thanks to our 16+ launch partners from across Canada for their support. Read more: buff.ly/3Wc1Xgx
Friday was a wild one: recorded this BetaKit Podcast episode right after #CDNtech leaders met with Minister Chrystia Freeland. Thanks to @mattroberts and @Ben_Bergen for pulling no punches. youtube.com/watch?v=UeGRr6…

Vancouver is probably one of the most beautiful places in the world but I’m very happy to be back home in Toronto. May have tried to convince my Lyft driver from the airport to go to @newdemos_.

Community-led bid to buy back @notman House unsuccessful #MTLtech buff.ly/3U9DXbc
.@BetaKit covers #cdntech from the National to the very local. Extremely proud of their work this week. Here’s Madison with another disappointing update for #MTLtech regarding the future of Norman House.
They only balanced one budget, of course, and did it by prematurely selling Canada’s shares in GM.
Don't miss @BetaKit's freshly crafted 'single source of truth' format covering Budget 2024: - Real-time exec summary of all the key info for 🇨🇦 tech. - Deep dives & analysis added by team in parallel. - Industry pov with more colour on the impact. Kudos @tron & team on shipping!
Speaking with Mike Katchen onstage at #INNOVATEwest yesterday, he told me he was "extremely nervous" about the rumoured capital gains increase. 24 hours later, over 150 #CDNtech leaders have signed an open letter asking to repeal the #Budget2024 changes. betakit.com/capital-gains-…
OK now I'm just trolling. It's been a long day.
