I'm not them, but a price too high can be a way to make sure to get only a few client at first. They clearly like to test stuff, and it's much easier to do it with a few client, than thousands of them. We also often forget the ind

In the US it seems like the government goes in favor to the employers, while in Canada, it's in favor to the employee. There's no such thing as "at-will" employment here in Canada. You can't be fired for no reason.
