Beat me to it. Have never really thought of the Canadian government caring about entrepreneurs, other than token support to get votes.

    Not to mention the R&D tax credit, which is transferable and instantly adds value to even failed startups. Being able to buy a startup for micenuts simply so you can write off 30% of their salaries (while still getting their employees) is pretty attractive for a lot of established companies.
