Yeah, except Canada really sucks for innovation and startups. Canada's [[[insert any sector here]]] is basically controlled by 2-3 companies that will either kill your idea before it happens, or you must get their “blessing” to penetrate the market. The government doesn't help either. I remember seeing some programs that require 3 years of profit and at least 5 full-time employees to get support of, say, $100k Canadian dollars, which is even less than the US one. The only time you can do something in the Canadian market is when you are already a very well-established company with big capital; only then can you survive there. I have seen government contracts mostly always given to corporations rather than promising startups simply because the conditions required only apply to large corporations.
