Very true, payscale just doesn't match to what the offerings are south of the border. Some say there more attraction for 'senior' talent - with families,with reliable and free healthcare and fairly family friendly city. That is however not what startups need. They need daring fresh talent, and such talent requires a fertile soil to be planted on. Just as article pointed out, Haze of Finance covers everything. That may mean smarter, brighter people will go to finance in Toronto, or go south work on exciting projects. One great thing Toronto, has rest of Canada has less of, it 'lets do it' attitude. Whats hindering it though, very canadian attitude to seek consensus. We like to get permission, something disruptive business models do go against. It seems there is a lot of hurdles Toronto has to overcome before making it huge as an IT Startup Hub. I believe New York is also having some sort of cultural issues as well in trying to grow up as the fertile place for starups. [ Its this whole east coast thing :) ] my 2c
