Canadian Techies Unite
July 16th, 2006 Posted in Main Page
If you're Canadian and proud of it (and who isn't, right!), Canadian Tech Mob wants you. CTM is a not-for-profit, grassroots movement to raise the profile of the country's high-tech industry. Here's CTM's marketing spiel:
“If you are a blogger,
entrepreneur, VC, or other member of the Canadian Tech ecosystem, we
hope you will join with us to support the “spilling” of the secret of
the Great White North . Let's show the world what Canada is made of!”

And this is supposed to fight stereotypes about Canada being a land of maple syrup loving skiers, lumberjacks and comedians? Give me a break.
While I'm sure the intentions are good, as a tech entrepreneur and proud Canadian I find the imagery on that site borderline offensive. It's bad enough the rest of the world thinks of us already in those terms, there's no need for us to perpetuate those stereotypes.
