Great news for Canadian founders 🇨🇦 Congrats @AlexMcIsaac333!
Today, we’re announcing the launch of Northside Ventures Fund II, a $30 million USD (~$40 million CAD) fund focused on backing exceptional Canadian founders at the earliest stages of company formation, wherever they choose to build. Thank you to all the founders, investors and partners who have supported us so far along this journey. We're excited for the future!

Big move in Alberta. Pembina says "supplying electricity to data centres is a scalable, long-term business for the pipeline company". They just bought 134 acres in Sturgeon County, right beside the gas plant they're building for Meta's $13B data centre. Grid filings on that land show a 3.6 GW data centre and two gas plants big enough to run it. No customer yet but this is good news for Canada. thelogic.co/news/exclusive/p…

Agents are consuming tokens at an astonishing rate. 600T tokens from agents on OpenRouter in October. 83T from humans. A year ago agents were 8% of tokens. Now 76%.

Lest we forget.
Today, we remember the Canadians who gave so much for our country, and to those who never came home. May we honour them by cherishing the peace they fought for. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Lest we forget | N'oublions jamais. 🇨🇦

The best use case for Muse is accessing Instagram without needing Instagram downloaded on your phone. Connect it once, delete the app and never watch a reel again.

“Build detailed FPS game. Make it awesome. Make smart decisions. Don’t make mistakes. Wake me up when done”
I wanted to test Fable 5.2's quality with one-shot prompts without human feedback. Everything in this game is from scratch: models, sounds, textures. ~$550 at API pricing, ~2.7M output and 445M input tokens, heavily cached. Took 8 hours! Play it here: claude.ai/artifact/BGY1SztrA…

Canadian Government getting some much needed tax revenue with these elevated oil prices
The wall of money that is coming towards governments from the upstream sector is difficult to comprehend. In the first 9 months of 2026 @ImperialOil has paid more in cash taxes and royalties than it did in either all of '24 or '25...and there is 3 months to go. Moreover, when compared to the first 9 months in '25 $IMO.TO has paid 110% more cash taxes and 53% more royalties.

TIL New Mexico has a Sovereign wealth fund. Their fund is 3x bigger than Alberta's while producing less than half the amount of oil.
New Mexico’s $75B sovereign wealth fund, built on oil and gas money, is on track to become the largest in the U.S. by 2030. How do you diversify from oil and gas into a new generation of companies and industries? I went to New Mexico for 24 hours to see how the state is working with the private sector to attract some of the world’s most innovative hard tech companies, and how it’s building on a scientific legacy that goes all the way back to Los Alamos. New Mexico has become the first state to offer universal no-cost child care, and is working with community colleges to train local residents for jobs in advanced manufacturing and emerging industries. FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE • @ADoricko founder and CEO of @RainmakerCorp • Adam Grosser, chairman and managing partner of @UPPartnersVC • Carrie von Muench, co-founder and COO of Pacific Fusion • Rep. Meredith Dixon, New Mexico House of Representatives • Reliable Robotics • Brian Adamsco, founder and managing partner of UP Abundance

New leadership. Much needed in this province. Onwards 🌊
Eby’s decision to call a snap election pretty much sums up the 4 years of his leadership. Total shit show. Conservative majority called just 30 mins after the polls closed.

Mercury to gold. Age of abundance
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

It was only a matter of time
We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

Called it from day 1. This company is going to win. One of the most important companies in America right now. Congrats @zanehengsperger and @noxmetals team!
BREAKING: @noxmetals, the YC-backed manufacturing startup, says it has reached a $25M annualized revenue run rate in less than a year. The Detroit-based startup is automating metal cutting and supply for the American industrial base.

$10 billion. Unreal
BREAKING: Elon Musk says he will donate one share of SpaceX stock, $SPCX, to every American child in 2027. There are currently ~73 million children in the US and SpaceX is trading at $146/share. This makes Elon Musk’s donation worth $10.7 billion based on current share price.
