I agree with you, my friends and I were discussing this a few days ago on how the valley has become synonymous with being the area where everyone knows what's best for the entire country, probably the entire world. It's gotten so

Lol, I'm from Mississauga too - We were your competitors; www.blip.delivery and worked with lots of construction companies in Toronto who wanted to do same-day deliveries. I ended up selling the company to a customer, but it's rea

Nature of the industry I'd say.. Cost for eg is a big factor; Hardware inherently requires money to build (materials etc), while software is just an investment of time. I suppose it's a direct mapping of human nature, where we inh
