On this week’s Insights, Don and David talk with Adrienne Oldford, Executive Director at the McKenna Institute.  Almost 30 years ago, then Premier Frank McKenna had a vision for what was called the ‘information superhighway’ and how it could transform the New Brunswick economy and society.  While there have been some important successes, by some measures New Brunswick is a laggard when it comes to digital technology adoption.
