STRATEGIS HEADLINES is one of the premiere IT resources of the Canadian technology community. Its newsletter of the same name is a joy. If you think that all Canada is renowned for is lager, Dudley Dooright of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and "Eh-Yup!" think again. You could learn a thing or three by subscribing here. And because Canada prides itself on its multi-lingualism, you can get this newsletter in Anglais et Francais.
Here's their intro (in English):
" Strategis Headlines is a weekly e-mail bulletin listing the URLs for all new and updated information products, tools and documents on the site. By subscribing, you can receive this bulletin via e-mail every week! Subscribe now and stay informed when your area of interest adds a new page, releases a report, or provides a new interactive tool!"

As you can see by the foregoing, this is a newsletter for serious technology professionals.
The only thing I would have liked to see more of here was discussion, either moderated or un-. If you join this mailing list, maybe you'll suggest that innovation. (Hint!)
One thing for certain is that this newsletter should be on every technologist's subscription list. It's a good one. RECOMMENDED.
