> The stark contrast between Toronto and Silicon Valley is mind-numbing. And the short-sightedness of our politicians and society is infuriating. As a Canadian in tech, moving to SV is something I regularly consider. However, the nonsense that is Bay-area politics is really off-putting. Unfortunately, the state and federal politics are hardly any better. Americans seem to hate each other. There are many things that are attractive about the United States. The politics are definitely are not up there on my list. (That being said, from Toronto maybe it's not such a big step down. The Rob Ford fiasco appeared to be a symptom of deeper problems.)
