But there are only 36 million people in Canada. It isn't a very large market.
It would be interesting to see the political reaction to Google closing its three campuses in Canada. The PM went to the opening of the largest one, outside of Toronto.
- mattnewton 9y agoYou have to pick and choose your battles. I think you can only win when appealing to the court of public opinion if the other side is doing something the public could find odious. I think here it's too easy to paint it as David vs Goliath, and people aren't going to care about the slippery slope argument. And they aren't wrong, I certainly hope Google doesn't pull out of Canada over something like this.
