Exciting news from Thales and #Netskrt. Wouldn't you just love to be able to settle into your airplane seat and catch the rest of that movie you were watching before you headed to the airport!
Thales partners with #Netskrt to bring edge caching technology and new video streaming content sources to airlines, enabling passengers to access their streaming services in-flight.
Look for both companies to be on @theAPEXassoc panel on Thurs., Oct. 27th! #APEXEXPO #APEXIFSAEXPO

We all know what's happening w the #bcndp.
In 25 days, a 32 yr old climate champ & a bunch of climate organizers sold waaay more memberships than a front-bench cabinet minister, a governing party, and the whole caucus.

rips the bandage off the wound that is today's Poilievre/CPC and it is not pretty.
Congratulations SQT Team from @SFR_Science. Wonderful to see this success. As @quantumstef says, Canada punches far above our weight in Quantum Computing.
#quantumcomputing could surpass today’s supercomputers. @SFUPhysics researchers published a major breakthrough in @Nature: the first all-optical measurement of silicon spin qubits - opening the door to new scalable quantum computer design. ow.ly/gnzu50JUo4u @quantumstef

A new poll finds more than two-thirds of Canadians would support the use of military force to help clear out Ottawa protesters, while support for the truckers has fallen to 20 per cent – both for what they are protesting and how they are going about it. bit.ly/3LrEXlT
