Yes.

Been working here for a decade and the tech economy is the best it's ever been.

Big cos like Amazon, Microsoft have set up shop in Vancouver and are here to stay. They provide a nice fallback option to any sort of smaller startups that don't pan out.

The games industry has bounced back in a big way too. The multi thousand capacity EA Games studio in Burnaby is full and they've had to get off site offices.

Add on the standard benefits of Canada:

* free universal healthcare means being an entrepeneur is easy.

* reasonable gun regulations (no concealed carry nonsense)

* generally more progressive governments than USA.
