Why discount those industries? If you eliminate legs and arms, I have essentially no limbs. But I get by...
- InclinedPlane 13y agoI think the point is to draw attention to the nature of Canada's economy, not to discount it entirely.
- mattzito 13y agoI can't speak for OP, but I suggest that they're highlighting the fact that instead of a broad base of large companies in a variety of industries, Canada's big company wealth is highlighted in a narrow set of verticals. This means that corporate investment might be more slanted towards that areas, and it also means a narrower set of potential customers for a given application.
- robotresearcher 13y agoI know what you mean, and I'm sure that's what the OP intended, but these "verticals" are energy, minerals and money. Literally everyone needs these things, which is the definition of a horizontal market. Anyway, as a Canadian computer scientist I'd be very happy to see knowledge industry grow here.
