Chris Arsenault just posted a refreshingly optimistic post on the Canadian venture capital industry here.

Chris’ blog (and his twitter) are really worth following especially if you are interested in learning about Canadian vc activity and issues of interest to Canadian technology entrepreneurs.

His current post hits a little close to home (in a good way) because he talks about Kirchner & Company as taking a leadership role in the future of Canadian VC. (Kirchner & Co are managing the exit process for the fund that let me skim my toes in the water of early stage venture capital.) There are days when I miss that work – sometimes things are so much simpler when you are on the have side of the money equation!
