The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that at a tense moment in Canada-U.S. relations, a group of Canadian innovators has assembled in San Francisco. The Globe's Sean Silcoff writes that while the U.S. President Donald Trump threatens annexation and 25-per-cent tariffs, Canadian tech players gather in America's innovation epicentre. The C100, a San Francisco-based organization that connects Canadians working in tech here together with their peers back home, is hosting a team-building group cooking class in the Mission district ahead of two days of networking, fireside chats and panels. Featured speakers include some of the most accomplished Canadians in Silicon Valley, plus leaders of established Canadian-based innovative companies. Much of the talk is about hockey. "It's all very strange when you think about the ties and the joint economic prosperity that's potentially being significantly impacted without seemingly any rational justification," says BMO's David Wismer, who is based in Toronto but spends half his time in the U.S. "But you're a patriot first. It makes me question, to be honest, do I want to be down here that much any more? If I was at one of those games I'd absolutely be booing as well."
