I am from rural Ontario, about an hour's drive away from RIM. There seems to a disproportionate number of people skilled in high tech and design coming from my region. I've seen some pretty amazing work coming from these people. Technology and design was a strong part of the high school curriculum, which may explain the amount of talent we have. Our schools even had labs of SGI machines, when SGI was still a hot company, for design courses, which I think would have been fairly unheard of for most high schools at the time. So I believe the talent is out there, even in the rural areas. RIM is just doing a poor job of acquiring it.
