You left out the University of Waterloo. Not only does it have a huge entrepreneurial student population, but it also supplies a notable percentage of engineers that tech startups hire.

That was my first thought when I saw this. I don't understand what data sample would have all the US tech schools on it but omit U of W.

I agree you'd expect them to be on the list, but we can't change our data. What other schools in Canada are entrepreneurial though?

University of Toronto seems a likely candidate. A classmate of mine, Mark Ruddock, is a serial entrepreneur who has been CEO of three companies, two of them acquired.

How is USC not there? Alumni founded Salesforce, Box, Myspace, Kinkos, Intuit, Qualcomm...etc.
