First reaction as a Canadian: ... Newfoundland and Labrador has a tech industry??!?!
Skepticism aside, I would like to see other cities and provinces playing larger roles in Canada’s economic future. I myself immigrated to Atlantic Canada, but it was frustrating finding a fulfilling opportunity in the local tech scene (this was before remote work was seen as mainstream), and eventually moved to a bigger province / city.
Tech industry will employ you with a high salary for the cost of living.
You can afford a house and a family and save for a cabin and boat, which is the cultural touchstone here.
Saskatchewan will grow. I'm bullish on our resource sector.
Immigrants to Canada are attracted here due to the low cost of a house. Living here and owning property now is a solid real estate bet for the future.
World leaders of uranium and potash are based here. Agriculture is strong here.
Saskatchewan is not a cosmopolitan urban center. It has deep rural roots everywhere. But I love it here. It is home.
I've worked at 5 different tech places in ~11 years in the industry here.
Getting a job as a programmer here is pretty easy, there's not a ton of options but there's a few success stories that are usually hiring.
I know many people who work remote from here, Digital Ocean is a popular remote option.
