Be All You Can Be: Right Where You Are.

Jevon simply sums up and nails all the blog blather (mine included) about the good or bad of flocking to wherever in search of the holy grail.

"The opportunity for Canada is first to build strong communities individually, and then the job is to build strong connections between those communities. Canadians (who are still here!) are different from those who flock to San Francisco in search of the holy grail. Canadians love their own city, and they aren’t very excited about the idea of all making their way to another city in search of success. Most of us will choose to make a go of it in our own backyard, where we are connected to our great communities and where we feel like we can all have an impact.

We need to compete fiercely with eachother for the prize of being the top city to build a startup in Canada, but we also need to start creating a larger ecosystem where we can can the egos and start to make connections."

Amen, amen, amen.  Read the whole post here and tell your all your friends.  Well done, Jevon.
