One thing this article seems to miss is that the tech scene in Canada isn't the same as the tech scene in America because Canadian capitalism and ideals are vastly different than Americas. I'm a 6th generation Canadian who left and went to NYC to build tech companies, much to the dismay of my parents who continually asked "why are you so interested in getting above everyone else?". While I agree with a lot of what the author said, I think that the Canadian tech scene doesn't jive yet because Canadians haven't really embraced ruthless capitalism fully.

You write that like it's a bad thing.

I tried it write it without any opinion about it being good or bad, just as a fact. If you want my opinion, I think it's great.
