My review of a shockingly great business film that appeared out of nowhere, and how it's themes strike at the core of startup culture and the key questions around technology and business in an incredibly way.

Notes -
Our economy should function like an extension of the US market, but it doesn't. There are serious barriers that prevent our economy from fully integrating with the US. It seems to become much harder to do anything once you cross the border. Part of this is certainly the fault of the US government, but much of it is our fault too.
The "Canadian Identity", according to Canadian poltics, is "Not America". Almost anything the Canadian government does is to differentiate it from the USA. The government erects these serious barriers to prevent Canada from "losing it's identity". In reality it just helps to funnel money (corruption) to Old Money including the aforementioned protected industries.
The reason Canada has no industry is partially due to corruption and regulation and partially due to brain drain. Any ambitious individuals will move (at minimal cost) to the USA for a better chance of starting a successful buisiness or career.
