So, I was supposed to go up to Montreal and Ottawa the past couple of days, but a series of miserable luck in terms of planes made it unworkable (it's complicated).
Instead, I tried to record a presentation and get it onto the web so we could play it for them, and then take questions by skype. That also didn't work.

John - you're travel problem have led to a more permanent record of your presentation than you originally intended and may now be seen by far more people! Thanks for taking the time to do it.
That was a very interesting presentation. These changes aren't going to be easy. The institutions aren't set up to adapt as quickly as the world is changing around them.
