There is one Silicon Valley on the continent already, why would anyone go to the BC?
No? I get that the tech scene is growing, but this is extreme hyperbole. Vancouverites need to go to the actual Silicon Valley to see just how wide the gap is.
When your best-known tech employer is an infamous code sweatshop, and the bulk of your job market is heavy enterprise-Java code, you cannot make a realistic claim to being Silicon Valley.
Can we stop with this already? One minute Waterloo is "Silicon Valley North" the next minute it is Vancouver. Who cares? Just build your ecosystem the way your community wants it.
What was that "law" stating every news headline ending with a question mark can always be answered "No"?
