He is known for the "nuts and bolts" approach of analysing Canada's political economy: focusing on the nation's role as an exporter of raw materials and grains, and using this to explain its regionalism and the working of its political superstructure. This is known as the [[Staples Thesis]], and it is still the underpinning of the study Canada's economic history.
No I can't, I just tried to make another account, and that one wasn't ok for some reason,so they told me to make another and now I still can't edit. What's going on here?
Innis' theory of communication was to divide the subject into two. Time binding media includes printed and oral sources that are intended to last for many generations, but are only successfully used in relatively small communities. Space binding media includes most of the modern media such as radio, and television, as well as newspapers. This is information that is meant to reach as many as possible, but will not last long in time. While time binding media favoured community and metaphysics, space biding media favoured commercialism and imperialism. [[Marshall McLuhan]] was a student of Innis', and he built on many of Innis' ideas.

Innis died of [[cancer]] in 1952. [[Innis College]] at the University of Toronto is named after him.
