Bionxt Solutions (BNXT.C) shows how pivots don’t have to mean resets
Several years back, Hugh Rogers was in my office talking about his cannabis company. Way back then, the plan was to grow in Germany and be first on the continent, using an old wartime bunker as a ‘safe growing facility’.

Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C) finds multiple research options moving forward
In Canada, if you look backwards over the timeline, you’ll often find public companies have been other things back in the day. Risen, fallen, tapped out, rolled back, reemerged as a whole new thing.

Pubco cocaine is here: What does it mean, who’s in, and who’s real?
I recently listened to a podcast episode of Search Engine with PJ Vogt, and I REALLY got into it.
