On the main point of the article, I do agree that a lot of ideas fly higher in San Francisco than other parts of North America. I see "Highlight" as a good example of this where an app finds a lot of early adopters in a small area but it be

I haven't used it personally, but Angellist jobs looks interesting: https://angel.co/jobs I like that they have to disclose ballpark salaries. Makes it easier to get a sense for how the company values developers.

Victoria "booming" is a pretty extraordinary claim. I'm in Vancouver, and there is at least some startup activity, but I can't think of much in Victoria. Maybe from a non-tech perspective it looks that way, but look at the companies in both

Renting in Vancouver is generally cheaper than SF. Buying a place may be a different story, but rent is reasonable in Vancouver.

I'm actually surprised that the article didn't touch on how the rules have been loosened so that American VCs can play in Canada a lot easier.

I'm actually really glad to hear it. Though, I wonder about the "rails doesn't scale" mantra, is that really more for active record? In your experience is active record the biggest out of the box bottleneck?
