We're just lucky NASA allowed a few Canadian companies to contribute to the Space Shuttle program in the 1970s or the Canadarm (which doesn't exist anymore as Shuttles are extinct) or the Canadarm2 (International Space Station) wouldn't exist today. The Canadarm program exists more out of political considerations rather than any sort of innovation.

I guess you could say RIM was innovative when they identified a market for smartphones and corporate messaging 10 years ago and brought a successful solution to market but they've since famously dropped the buck.

The oilsands are an innovative way to get fossil fuels out of dirt.
