How far down the list of top tech companies do you have to go before you come to one based in Canada? You won't find one in the top 10. You might not even find one in the top 50. If you're looking to bet on strength, that's not promising. For whatever reason, Canada seems to be able to produce a real contender only occasionally. True, we had RIM and before that Nortel. But RIM is a shadow of what it once was, and Nortel is long gone. In tech, Canada is a backwater, and seems likely to stay that way.
