Customer Reviews

Read a book - Grow as a person

Watch out Michael Moore! This book lifts the veil on Canada's commitment and involvement in technology. Who knew? I found the book well written and packed with a lot of very useful information... things that I was surprised to find out and as a Canadian, I should know. I was also impressed with the coherant contributions of so many authors.In a nutshell, this is an important read for Canadians, Americans and anyone interested in business and technology.

Right on the Money

I was given this book as a gift and I have to say it was truly uplifting. Well written, insightful and to the point. I have passed it on to several people. I would argue this is one of the most important Canadian books of the year.

Americans, Take Note

This book opened my eyes as to how much Canada has dominated the technology industry. It is well written and the profiles of the entrepreneurs provide solid business advice. The book fulfills two needs: 1. It brags about Canada's achievements (we need more of that) and, 2. Lays out the case for building solid companies. Buy this book, you will be very glad you did.
