How do the economics of that work out? I realize Canada is pretty bad, but wouldn't Canadians be more desirable purely because they're in the same time zone and are less likely to have a communication barrier? If your argument is that there are more good devs in India by virtue of there being more devs/people there in general... well, sure, but that means there are more devs in general, and the ones making salaries better than the top 25% of Canadians are probably the top 1% in India.
