I'm always weary of "having a moment" stories. It often means the author is going to try to string together unrelated events into a narrative.

I'm always weary of "having a moment" stories. It often means the author is going to try to string together unrelated events into a narrative.
- blazespin 9y agoYeah, using a pretty tired and trite phrase like that doesn't bode well. To be fair though, the titles are often not written by the writers themselves.
- VHRanger 9y agoMontreal is really hot in AI/data science. U Montreal is arguably the top research university in deep learning at the moment, and McGill and Concordia also have good CS departments. The IVADO (a cross university data science institute in montreal) recently got a $93M investment for research and promotion of data science in Montreal.
- anth1988 9y agoHigh quality schools help, but people still graduate and run off to the states to make more money.
- startupdiscuss 9y agoWell at least the "X is the next Silicon Valley" angle is original.
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoEventually tech will find a way out of the money black hole of CA. You can be weary of these stories but eventually there will be snowball that rolls far enough to become big enough to be worth caring about.
- acchow 9y agoClickbait, vapid article. Canada will "begin to have a moment" when a $20bn exit spawns a legion of millionaires happy to become VCs. Except they probably wouldn't want to become VCs since they don't see many successful VCs around them, there aren't many big exits, and there isn't a huge startup ecosystem. Chicken and egg problem.
