Canadian Tech Talent Fleeing to U.S. | Edmonton News
Description
Canada’s tech brain drain is accelerating, with over 500 U.S. startups founded by Canadians raising $400 billion—nearly 100 founders jumped ship last year alone, double the pre-pandemic rate. Top Canadian grads from Waterloo, Toronto, and McGill are flocking to Silicon Valley, drawn by U.S. capital, ambition, and innovation density. Experts warn it’s a “five alarm fire” for Canada’s economic future, as the country struggles to match America’s scale and ecosystem—even as debates rage over policy fixes and where the next big thing will be built.
