Around the year 2000, there was a push by the Canadian government to get students interested in computer science and engineering. I benefited from these efforts by attending a computer science program at UBC tailored for graduates from non engineering disciplines. As the year 2010 rolled around and US tech giants started to gain their footing, the innovation message in Canada seemed to disappear. The message was replaced by a resounding voice by the government to focus on the resource sector.
