  This is what is so frustrating about Canada... In this case, the government gets involved [1] in investing in early-stage companies, a ton of money goes instead to building a shiny building in a hyper-expensive real-estate market, and the government steps in with taxpayer money to bail itself out when things don't go well. [1] Partners in MaRS include the Province of Ontario, the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto: http://www.marsdd.com/about/our-partners/ http://www.marsdd.com/about/our-partners/
