The only hope the Toronto tech scene has to escape from its mediocrity is, ironically, a renegotiation of Nafta, or a major change in government policy on immigration.

As long as the cost for privileged access to the US market is open season to poach the best and brightest of our labour market, and a local tech scene too addicted what amounts to a subsidy in the form of large immigration numbers that prevent wages here from adjusting upwards to US levels, very little will take root here beyond satellite offices and near-shoring, and the brain drain will continue.
