I agree the Canada is suffering from brain drain, but I don't agree that the big issue is that we are not educating people well enough. The University of Waterloo has one of the most respected CS/Software Engineering/Computer Engineering programs out there. The issue I believe exists is that a lot of the top end grads are being attracted to the valley or other large companies because those are seen as the most attractive jobs.

Until recently it was difficult for companies staying in Canada to get the kind of investments that people were getting in the valley. Getting investments has been getting easier for Canadian companies in recent years and I think this is the primary reason why we are seeing the startup scene start to grow.
