I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.

Let's not forget, there are three languages in Canada - English, French, and there's the language of jobs.

I'm ashamed of what has happened to Canada. And I'm not leaving a $1.5 trillion deficit to my kids. No chance in hell is that happening.

When you're travelling, your day is jam-packed. I just don't have time to whip out a PC all the time. But I can whip out a BlackBerry and tweet. I keep a constant diary of where I'm at and why I'm there.

Vision is nothing without a plan to execute it.

I'm starting to think about things that I want to do, things that are fun. One of them is driving a car like a Porsche. I've driven a lot of cars - sedans, trucks and big family vehicles all year long. But there's nothing like a four-wheel-drive Porsche.

I keep anywhere between 5-10 percent of my net worth in venture ideas.
