They say food connects us all. Very true, but so does the internet these days. Along with provinces, Ottawa is on path to give 98 per cent of the Canadian population access to high-speed internet by 2026.

In IT, six years is a lifetime, and the $1.75 billion announced to support the policy is not new money. But still, such a motivated aim set by the government is certainly something we should celebrate.
