Canada produces world-leading science, engineering, and AI research. So why does so much of that research still commercialize outside of Canada?In this episode of TechSurge, host Nic Brathwaite puts that question to four leaders at two of Canada's top research universities: Mary Wells (Dean of Engineering) and Chris Houser (Dean of Science) at the University of Waterloo, and Heather Sheardown (Dean of Engineering) and Gianni Parise (VP Research) at McMaster.At Waterloo, Mary Wells traces how the university's origin produced one of the world's most influential co-op programs and a creator-owned IP policy that lets inventors keep their ideas, making the school a talent engine for global tech. The group digs into Canada's AI paradox, foundational research and talent but far less of the economic value, and what quantum, robotics, and advanced manufacturing show about getting research to market.McMaster runs a different model, built on health sciences, nuclear research, and problem-based learning. Heather Sheardown explains the McMaster Method and why it matters in an AI-shaped future. Gianni Parise argues for commercialization as a core university function, with work spanning AI-assisted drug discovery, inhaled vaccines, critical-mineral-free motors, and a campus nuclear reactor that supplies much of the world's iodine-125 for prostate cancer treatment. They also unpack Fusion Pharmaceuticals, the McMaster spin-out acquired by AstraZeneca, and what it reveals about university commercialization.Together, these conversations ask what universities must become in an era defined by AI, deep tech, national competitiveness, and the urgent need to move ideas from the lab into the world.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future episodes.Speaker Profiles and LinksMary Wells - University of Waterloo Profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/about/dean-engineerinChris Houser - University of Waterloo profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/earth-environmental-sciences/profile/chouserHeather Sheardown - McMaster Engineering profile: https://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/chemeng/faculty/dr-heather-sheardown/Gianni Parise - McMaster Experts Profile: https://experts.mcmaster.ca/people/parisegChapters: 0:00 Highlights0:56 Welcome 2:39 Waterloo's origin story 4:51 Creator-owned IP and the Waterloo model 7:42 The Co-op Flywheel 8:56 Canada's AI paradox: world-class research, slower domestic value capture 10:21 AI, Regulation, Trust, and Canadian Competitiveness 17:09 Rethinking the PhD for Commercialisation 21:43 Inside Waterloo's labs 30:14 What Waterloo wants to be in ten years: builders of the country 32:39 Meet McMaster: health sciences, nuclear capability, and research intensity 34:12 The McMaster Method 35:11 Research, Health, and Commercialisation 40:45 McMaster Labs: Heat, Motors and Health Innovation 47:13 Bioinnovation, Nuclear Research and Fusion Pharmaceuticals 58:43 The university of 2035: less lecture, deeper societal impact References Mentioned and Further ReadingUniversity of Waterloo Policy 73 - Intellectual Property Rights: https://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policies/policy-73-intellectual-property-rightsUniversity of Waterloo - Our IP policy: https://uwaterloo.ca/entrepreneurship/our-ip-policyUniversity of Waterloo Co-op programs: https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/co-opUniversity of Waterloo - Academy of Research Commercialization: https://uwaterloo.ca/conrad-school-entrepreneurship-business/graduate-students/academy-research-commercialization-arcOpen Quantum Design: https://openquantumdesign.org/Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo: https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/CIFAR - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://cifar.ca/ai/Government of Canada / ISED - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en/pan-canadian-artificial-intelligence-strategyStatistics Canada - Understanding Canada's innovation paradox: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2024007/article/00002-eng.htmCouncil of Canadian Academies - Innovation and Business Strategy: Why Canada Falls Short: https://cca-reports.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2009-06-11-innovation-report-1.pdfKPMG / University of Melbourne - Trust, attitudes and use of artificial intelligence: https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/ca/pdf/2025/07/trust-in-ai-en-report.pdfMcMaster - Our approach to teaching and learning / Problem-Based Learning: https://provost.mcmaster.ca/teaching-learning/our-approach/McMaster - Evidence-based medicine: https://fhshrwelcome.mcmaster.ca/did_you_know/evidence-based-medicine/McMaster Nuclear Reactor - Medical Isotopes: https://nuclear.mcmaster.ca/medical-isotopes/McMaster Industry Liaison Office - IP and commercialization FAQ: https://research.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-industry-liaison-office-milo/ip-education/intellectual-property-guides/faqs/McMaster - AstraZeneca to acquire McMaster-supported Fusion Pharmaceuticals: https://news.mcmaster.ca/astrazeneca-to-acquire-mcmaster-supported-fusion-pharmaceuticals/Fusion Pharmaceuticals - FACIT investment and CPDC spin-out background: https://fusionpharma.com/facit-announces-investment-in-fusion-pharmaceuticals-and-alpha-emitting-radiotherapeutics/PubMed - Evidence-based medicine and problem-based learning at McMaster: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31617018/ScienceDirect - Fifty Years on: The first problem-based learning programme at McMaster:

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly on Saturday evening at the age of 71. A preliminary report said he died of an aortic dissection, caused by heart disease. Today, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster announced Graham's temporary replacement – his younger sister, Darline Graham Nordone. And she has big shoes to fill. Graham was a political lifer. Before winning a seat in the Senate in 2003, he served in the House of Representatives beginning in 1995. And like many Republicans, Graham went from a dedicated opponent of Donald Trump to one of Trump's most committed partisans. So for more on Graham's legacy and what happens next, we spoke with Matt Viser a few hours before McMaster's announcement. Viser is a staff writer at The Atlantic.And in headlines, Trump said the United States is “reinstating” a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, and a federal immigration officer fatally shot a motorist in Maine.Show Notes: Check out Matt's work – theatlantic.com/author/matt-viser/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

DESCRIPTION South Carolina's governor's race is headed for a photo finish, with polls showing no clear frontrunner and a bitter runoff battle looming on the horizon. Charlie examines the fallout from the Henry McMaster political machine, the controversy surrounding Pam Evette's campaign, and allegations that dark-money groups are targeting conservative lawmakers. Plus, a deep dive into California's election system, ballot harvesting, voter rolls, and why critics argue the Golden State has become a national warning sign for election integrity. PODCAST SUMMARY Charlie opens the show by breaking down the increasingly chaotic South Carolina governor's race. With polling showing several candidates clustered within striking distance of one another, the contest appears likely to head to a runoff. The discussion focuses on the political fallout surrounding reports that Henry McMaster's son was being considered for lieutenant governor and the controversy that followed. The conversation then turns to Governor Henry McMaster's record, with Charlie arguing that the election is becoming a referendum on the current administration's leadership. Topics include immigration enforcement, economic growth, public safety, and the perception that South Carolina's success has occurred despite, rather than because of, state leadership. The show also highlights a major immigration enforcement operation in the Upstate that resulted in arrests of management personnel accused of employment-related violations. Charlie argues that enforcement efforts should focus not only on workers but also on executives and decision-makers responsible for hiring practices. Attention then shifts to allegations involving foreign diploma mills, credential fraud, and concerns surrounding the H-1B visa program. Charlie discusses reports of counterfeit degrees in engineering, healthcare, and other professional fields, arguing that credential verification and workforce oversight deserve greater scrutiny. Later in the program, Charlie warns listeners about political mailers and text campaigns targeting members of South Carolina's Freedom Caucus. He interviews Representative Josiah Magnuson, who disputes claims made in campaign advertisements and argues that voters should closely examine the sources behind political messaging. The episode concludes with a discussion about California's election system, including ballot harvesting, voter registration controversies, mail-in voting, and ongoing legal disputes over voter rolls. Charlie argues that election administration practices in California continue to fuel concerns about transparency and voter confidence nationwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS South Carolina's governor's race appears likely headed toward a runoff election. The McMaster administration remains a major topic of debate among Republican voters. Immigration enforcement became a key issue following a high-profile Upstate raid. Questions surrounding credential verification and workforce qualifications continue to grow. The H-1B visa program remains at the center of workforce and immigration debates. Freedom Caucus lawmakers are facing significant opposition in legislative races. Political mailers and dark-money organizations are becoming a major election issue. California's election procedures continue to fuel national debates over voter confidence and election integrity. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE Runoff Incoming?

DESCRIPTION With South Carolina's governor's race heading toward what looks like a runoff, Charlie examines the latest polling, the fallout from the McMaster political machine, and the controversy surrounding Pam Evette's lieutenant governor plans. Then the conversation shifts to immigration enforcement, a major ICE raid in South Carolina, and shocking reports of fraudulent college degrees connected to foreign worker visa programs. Charlie argues that political insiders, weak enforcement, and labor market manipulation are creating consequences for American workers and voters alike. PODCAST SUMMARY As South Carolina voters prepare to cast ballots, Charlie breaks down one of the tightest governor's races in recent memory. With multiple polls showing razor-thin margins between leading candidates and a large percentage of undecided voters, the race appears destined for a runoff. The discussion includes the political fallout surrounding Henry McMaster's son being linked to lieutenant governor speculation and the impact that controversy may have had on the campaign. The conversation turns to Governor McMaster's record on immigration enforcement, with Charlie comparing South Carolina's approach to more aggressive actions taken in states like Florida. He highlights a recent ICE raid in Abbeville and argues that immigration enforcement efforts should focus not only on workers but also on management and corporate decision-makers who knowingly violate employment laws. Later in the show, Charlie reacts to reports from India involving alleged diploma mills and fraudulent academic credentials. The discussion focuses on concerns surrounding H-1B visa programs, engineering and healthcare professions, and the broader impact of labor-market competition on American graduates. Charlie argues that credential verification and workforce accountability will become increasingly important topics in future immigration debates. The episode concludes with a warning that both South Carolina politics and national immigration policy are approaching major turning points, with voters set to make decisions that could have long-term consequences for government, employment, and economic growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS South Carolina's governor's race remains highly competitive and likely headed toward a runoff. The McMaster political legacy continues to influence statewide races. Immigration enforcement became a major topic following a high-profile ICE raid in South Carolina. Corporate accountability remains a central issue in workplace immigration enforcement. Concerns about fraudulent academic credentials are generating national attention. H-1B visa programs remain a contentious issue in workforce and immigration debates. American graduates continue to face challenges in competitive labor markets. Election outcomes could significantly shape the future direction of South Carolina politics.

DESCRIPTION President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette was supposed to settle South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial primary. Instead, it may have thrown gasoline on an already chaotic race. Charlie breaks down the fallout from the endorsement, the controversy surrounding Henry McMaster Jr., conflicting polls, the rise of outsider candidate Rom Reddy, and accusations that Democrat-backed interests are attempting to influence Republican primary races. Plus, a warning about deceptive political mailers flooding South Carolina voters ahead of Election Day. Based on discussion from the transcript. PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina's Republican governor's race has entered its most unpredictable phase yet. Charlie examines the political fallout following President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette, arguing that the endorsement raised more questions than answers and exposed divisions within the state's Republican establishment. The discussion focuses on allegations involving redistricting decisions, the McMaster political machine, and the surprising revelation that Henry McMaster Jr. was reportedly considered for lieutenant governor despite previous denials. The episode also dives into conflicting polling data showing a tightly packed field with significant numbers of undecided voters. Attorney General Alan Wilson, Pam Evette, Ralph Norman, and Rom Reddy all appear within striking distance, making the race highly volatile. Charlie and Lee discuss whether outsider candidates like Rom Reddy are gaining momentum among voters frustrated with traditional political figures. Additionally, the show warns listeners about political mailers and advertising campaigns flooding South Carolina ahead of the primary. Charlie argues that voters should carefully scrutinize campaign messaging and follow the money behind political advertisements before casting their ballots. The conversation closes with concerns about party loyalty, Democrat influence in Republican races, and the uncertainty surrounding one of the most consequential elections in South Carolina politics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette created new controversy instead of ending the debate. Questions remain about Henry McMaster Jr.'s reported role in the campaign. Polling suggests the Republican field remains extremely tight. Large numbers of undecided voters could determine the outcome. Rom Reddy appears to be gaining grassroots attention as an outsider candidate. Political mailers and advertisements are becoming a major factor in the race. Republican voters are still searching for clarity ahead of the primary. The South Carolina governor's race remains highly unpredictable. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE SC Governor Race Explodes After Trump Endorsement SOCIAL MEDIA DESCRIPTION Did Trump's endorsement help or hurt Pam Evette? South Carolina's governor race is tighter than ever as polls conflict, candidates battle for undecided voters, and political insiders scramble ahead of Election Day. SOCIAL MEDIA POST

PODCAST DESCRIPTION A political firestorm erupts in South Carolina after Sheriff Hobart Lewis publishes a blistering Facebook post accusing Governor Henry McMaster and Lt. Governor Pam Evette of putting personal political ambitions ahead of Republican voters. According to Lewis, a redistricting battle that could have delivered Republicans another congressional seat was intentionally delayed, creating leverage to secure President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette and advance McMaster's political succession plans. The controversy raises questions about political deals, family influence, congressional control, and whether South Carolina voters are being manipulated by a powerful political machine operating behind the scenes. Tara breaks down the allegations, the timeline, and what it could mean for the governor's race. SHOW SUMMARY Today's show focuses on explosive claims made by Sheriff Hobart Lewis regarding South Carolina's governor's race and a controversial redistricting battle. Lewis alleges that Governor Henry McMaster intentionally delayed action on congressional redistricting after President Trump requested assistance in securing a Republican-friendly map. According to the sheriff, McMaster leveraged the situation to obtain Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette while also advancing plans for his son's political future. The discussion examines claims that a Republican congressional seat was effectively surrendered while political negotiations unfolded behind closed doors. The show also highlights allegations involving a longtime law enforcement officer who reportedly lost a U.S. Marshal appointment opportunity after political arrangements changed. Tara analyzes the growing backlash against the McMaster-Evette political operation, discusses polling discrepancies, and explores whether voters are witnessing the unraveling of a decades-old political machine. KEY TOPICS Sheriff Hobart Lewis' explosive Facebook allegations President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette South Carolina redistricting controversy Claims surrounding a lost Republican congressional seat Henry McMaster's role in the political dispute U.S. Marshal appointment controversy Questions surrounding political succession plans Polling inconsistencies in the governor's race Debate absence and campaign strategy The future of South Carolina Republican politics SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

PODCAST DESCRIPTION An explosive episode as Tara examines two major stories dominating conservative politics. First, the showdown in New Jersey over the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility. Federal officials insist the facility is operating legally and humanely, while activists and Democrat leaders continue demanding its closure. Tara explores claims that coordinated protests are being used to pressure federal authorities and potentially shut down immigration enforcement operations nationwide. Then, a political earthquake hits South Carolina. Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis publicly accuses Governor Henry McMaster and Lt. Governor Pam Evette of sacrificing a Republican congressional seat to secure political endorsements and advance personal ambitions. The allegations have ignited debate across the state just days before voters head to the polls. Congressman Ralph Norman joins the program to discuss President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette, the governor's race, gambling expansion, government reform, and his vision for South Carolina's future. The show closes with a discussion of increasingly aggressive rhetoric from some media figures and political commentators calling for a political "purge" of Trump supporters and the Republican movement. TODAY'S BIG STORIES

DESCRIPTION President Trump's late endorsement of Pam Evette has ignited controversy across South Carolina's gubernatorial primary. Questions surrounding Henry McMaster Jr.'s potential role as lieutenant governor, allegations of political deal-making, and a tightening race have voters asking whether the state's political establishment is trying to extend its influence for another generation. Tara and Roger break down the endorsement drama, the polling shifts, and what it could mean for South Carolina's future. PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina's governor's race took a dramatic turn after President Trump endorsed Lieutenant Governor Pam Evette, but the endorsement may have created more questions than answers. The biggest controversy centers on reports that Evette could select Henry McMaster Jr., son of Governor Henry McMaster, as her lieutenant governor running mate. While Trump referenced McMaster Jr. in his endorsement, Evette has continued to avoid directly confirming or denying the reports, fueling speculation about a political arrangement designed to preserve the state's longtime Republican establishment. Tara and Roger examine the timeline leading up to the endorsement, including Governor McMaster's handling of South Carolina's congressional redistricting efforts and claims that the endorsement may have been tied to broader political negotiations. The discussion also highlights concerns over immigration enforcement promises, including criticism of unfulfilled plans such as the proposed "Palmetto Pen" detention facility and questions about South Carolina's participation in federal immigration enforcement programs. Meanwhile, new polling suggests a highly competitive Republican primary with Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lieutenant Governor Pam Evette, Congressman Ralph Norman, and Senator Josh Kimbrell ally Rom Reddy all competing for position in a race that appears headed for a photo finish. The episode explores what voters should consider as they head toward the primary and whether South Carolina is facing a continuation of its political status quo or a major shift in leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette has intensified debate in the governor's race. Questions remain about whether Henry McMaster Jr. will be selected as lieutenant governor. Critics argue the endorsement reflects establishment political deal-making. Immigration enforcement promises have become a major campaign issue. Recent polling suggests a tightly contested Republican primary. Voters face a choice between political continuity and potential change in Columbia. SOUND BITES "The governor's race is the number one story in South Carolina right now." "If she wins the primary, then we'll find out who the lieutenant governor pick really is." "This race is shaping up to be a photo finish." "The question voters have to answer is whether they want more of the same or a new direction."

DESCRIPTION What should have been a straightforward endorsement has become one of the biggest political stories in South Carolina. Tara and Roger dive into President Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette and the immediate fallout that followed. The discussion centers on allegations of backroom negotiations involving Governor Henry McMaster, South Carolina's congressional redistricting fight, and speculation surrounding Henry McMaster Jr.'s possible role as Evette's lieutenant governor pick. The hosts examine claims that Trump's endorsement may have been tied to broader political negotiations and explore why a single line in Trump's endorsement message has generated so much attention. They also discuss the growing divide between establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives, the future of the McMaster political machine, and what all of this could mean as primary voters prepare to head to the polls. With the governor's race entering its final stretch, the political drama is only getting hotter. SHOW SUMMARY Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette was expected. What wasn't expected was the controversy that followed. Tara breaks down allegations involving South Carolina's redistricting battle, questions surrounding a potential lieutenant governor selection, and why some observers believe the endorsement message itself may have revealed more than intended.
