Canada has good universities, but not many notable tech companies. The last big one was RIM and they collapsed under the iPhone. Shopify seems to be doing OK though.
- SirFatty 1y agoI'd suggest they collapsed under themselves.
- acdha 1y agoRIM was already dying technically. They had a few corporate-friendly features (push notifications, some good security features) but even by the standards of the 2000s their software was lousy and the hardware unremarkable. It looked like the same problem as Nokia at the time, and Google a decade later, where the management were so busy milking the cash cow that they neglected long-term R&D and responding to market trends. I think even without the iPhone to copy from, Android would have killed them because the tech stack was a generation newer and far more capable.
