Wherever there are big risks there are also great opportunities.
As a Canadian, I wonder how/if Canada can benefit from Trump's lack of vision.
We already have the same time zone, language, almost same culture, similar economic regulations, tight economic integration with the US, a very skilled and educated workforce, some good centers of technological excellence and an immigration policy regarded as the best in the world.
If only we could convince more American companies to open branches in southern BC, Ontario and Quebec...
- ihsw 10y agoTech salaries in Canada are mediocre at best, with southern BC being the most perverted relative to cost of living. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
- Arizhel 10y agoHow exactly are they supposed to afford to live there? A ramshackle crack house in Vancouver costs $1M+. Silicon Valley is dirt cheap by comparison. Toronto is also quite expensive these days. Also, Canada does not have the same language if you're talking about Quebec (which you mentioned). The only way Canada makes any sense is if somehow Calgary and/or Edmonton suddenly become fast-growing tech hubs. But have fun with the cold. Most tech immigrants are not going to be too enthusiastic about that, considering most of them come from very warm parts of the world like India.
