In the wake of Sequoia’s “RIP: Good Times” meeting earlier this week in which warned its start-ups to batten down the hatches, one of the CEOs attending the meeting was quoted in the L.A. Times as saying:
“I didn’t come away thinking that the sky is falling or that I have to move to Canada, just that these guys are taking this seriously.”
Given how the U.S. financial system is imploding while Canadian banks are seen as among the world’s soundest, moving to Canada isn’t such a bad thing.
And we’ve got better beer, more hockey, less crime and more places to buy a donut per capita than anywhere else in the world.

In a sens who care, many American that talk like this, can’t find Canada on a map.
Don’t forget beaver tails and bacon.
Mark, I’m actually thinking of moving back.
Palo Alto to Toronto is not so bad but Palo Alto to any relatively small northerly based town would be a jolt to the system and worthy of the comment made in the LA Times…mind you Palo Alto to many small towns in the US would be equally painful.
Also, maple syrop and mounties. Oh wait, Disney owes the second one…
I meant “owns”… damn it!
You can’t buy an iPhone for a reasonable price in Canada….

@ Alan,
You can come back any time! We’ve missed you!
I’ve been living in the US for about 9 months now…and I’ll be going back to Canada in a couple more. Can’t wait to get me a beaver tail and Tim Horton’s IceCap!
Not better beer…that’s a common mistake a lot of you Canadians make. It depends where you are in the States. Out here in the Pacific Northwest we drink nothing but microbrew beer – much better than any store bought Canadian beer I’ve had.
If the “moving to” means driving across the border then it should be positively encouraged!
