All Canada needs to do to become the center of innovation now is to... become 10°C warmer.
Warmer would help, but the latitude difference still gets you on sun height and hours of daylight in the winter months.

#13In other words, companies who rely on H1B visas are not donating enough to Trump 2028 or the Republican party.

I dont know, warm weather but not too much direct sunlight could actually be a good thing.

They're getting a nice assist from global warming.

#16Most likely these companies will set up GCCs offshore. Moving the jobs abroad. Whatever tax and living + lifestyle expenses that USA economy was making from H1B's will be gone. Good for the rest of the world.

For companies hiring H1Bs it's about being closer to clients and colleagues and just being managerially far easier than opening an offshore office, but the benefit isn't infinite and once companies have the chops for opening new offices they'll turn down the H1B hiring.
The issue for the US is that, are you're saying, "having faith in your own country" only works if you have the process for developing unnaturally skillfull talent, which is just not going to happen once the smart people stop moving to the US as countries have uniformly distributed talent potential.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really.. Corporations have enough holdings abroad to survive and kill a party or two.
Any examples?
Anything that can't be done by the company will be outsourced to a consultancy. This already happens; a lot of work in Google products is done by external agencies.

There's certainly fewer barriers to offshoring now that employees have insisted there's no benefit to being onsite.

#20I vote for Democrats. Sad they didn't step up for American tech workers though, and the guy shitting himself did.
