This paragraph in particular irks me:

"When I first put up a few job postings for a senior developer position, the salary expectations for almost every applicant was $75,000 and up. Some of which were fresh grads with no significant experience."

Competent senior developers are few and far between, and command market rates well above $75k, depending on location. Compared to many cities in the US, there's an argument to be made that Canadian software developers are generally underpaid.
