Saskatchewan and the X-Prize
This story is an interesting description of Canada’s Da Vinci Project entry in the X-Prize, interesting primarily because of its description of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, as a “remote site.” Nothing remote about it, unless you live in Toronto; it’s simply an easy car ride along respectable roads.
