@calmmoneycoach: I left Canada in debt. My pay tripled the second I crossed the border. I came back 8 years later on purpose. The money gap is real. But so is everything that makes this country worth staying for. Canada is moving. Here’s what the research says we do next. What do you think? #canada #braindrain #canadianfinance #PersonalFinance

Canada should make a Special Economic Zone similar to what China did for Shen Zen

The missing piece is venture capital. As a startup Founder, I need to go to the US to raise VC. American VC stipulate that you incorporate in Delaware this leads to massive cuts in our tax base.

I’m a Canadian physician in the US I hope financially it’ll be somewhat comparable to come back. Fingers crossed it’ll get better so I can consider coming home

The best perspective to look at is the corporations perspective. Why would a large tech company open in Canada? You mentioned programmers getting paid less here and thats because its a supply and demand problem. Our government can incentivize corporations to create jobs here and incentivize people to stay here. Start by giving businesses reasons to open shop in Canada. Talent will follow.

First overall can we start by using USD as our dollar? I don’t think we need to manage our own monetary policy, just like European countries don’t.

People typically leave for better salaries, lower taxes, and better weather. Tough to pass up

Tax incentives is only a piece of the puzzle. For tech startup founders, there's very little venture capital. Plus Canadian venture investors tend to be super conservative. Government can throw incentives but it's way easier to fundraise in the US.

It’s very very easy. Canada has a regressive tax system. That cannot be fixed. Sadly to say. So the only other solution is to increase pay for talent

The reality is there’s no good answer and any potential answer would take at least 10 years, likely 30 to see the effects of, and it would require things out voters can’t comprehend. Currently, most people think billionaires and generally wealthy people need to be taxed MORE, not less. Well why would anyone want to take less pay to live in Canada (that has horrible weather, no tech and science environment, etc) just to GIVE EVEN MORE OF THAT TO THE GOVERNMENT which spends it wildly inefficiently? But good luck convincing voters that we actually need to lower taxes, not raise them. In general we’d need to supercharge incentives for smart or wealthy people to stay here. We need to 10x the incentives for entrepreneurship here. Our investing environment is non existent. You could spend 6 months here attempting to raise funds for your new world changing idea and at the end of that 6 months you’ll *maybe* find an investor who will take eg 10% of your company for $100k, whereas in the states with the same idea you could find someone who will give you $500 for 5% if the company over a lunch that was booked the day before. Entrepreneurs in general are horribly vilified here, and then the outcomes are far worse, less support from like minded people (because they’ve all moved to the states), and then higher taxes at the end of it all. If we wanted even a hope of our best and brightest to stay we would be: lowering taxes massively, drastically increasing incentives for entrepreneurship, fighting TOOTH AND NAIL for US tech cos to set up offices here (via subsidized energy usage, lower tax rates, etc), INCREASING our electrical capacity 100x (look at Chinas Solar addition rate, there’s no competing with that), bringing back free speech, etc. If you’re smart and CAN move to the states currently, there is quite literally no reason to stay in Canada other than friends and family. And unless you see your family every single day, you can quite literally pay to fly back from California every 2 weeks and not even come close to spending the surplus in a year you’d make from moving to the states.

Wage stagnation & lack of tax incentives for high earners. There is a marked difference between a high earner in the $500,000/yr range to one earning $50,000,000/yr. The former is still an employee, the latter likely owns a large business (I.e. is not trading on their labour anymore but rather uses capitol to make capitol). It is not shocking that top talent leaves to the US for better pay. If you can move 4h away by car and make double, it’s a pretty convincing deal. But it is bad for our country.
