text: The joke is that Canada, with it's low paying, no training available, low resources, one or two customers, risk adverse, tall poppy syndrome, old boys network infested high tech companies actually think they matter compares to similar American companies.
  
  The problem with Canada is the society's mentality - risk adverse, slow moving and that will never change.  
  
  Canada should stick to its core businesses: water, wood, oil/gas and of course, the best industry of all - immigration.  Cause smart people LEAVE Canada to REAL companies.
