Which is why I say you have to pair this policy with policies to create local demand. You've gotta give people a reason to build their business in Canada. Simply having a high quality labour pool isn't enough, especially now that remote work is so much more widely available. Even basic things like getting funding is much harder in Canada because the center of mass is in SV. But it's a super hard problem and few other places have cracked it (I'm looking at you, Stockholm!)
