Another thing that is coming out.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot create "silicon valley" anywhere else..( a recent MIT study of the world's clusters pointed this out. Sorry Waterloo - you are not even on the radar)..you cannot do it with finance, or media, or any of the other star economic generators either....they arise "organically", and only in the rear-view can you list the reasons why.

It makes me think years ago about Hazel Macallian  (sp) speaking at an Ontario municipal conference, and admonishing places Kapuskasing, that they to could have grown to 750,000 in 30 years, if only they were as efficiently run as Mississuaga...because of course, bordering on the financial, media, etc., capital (Toronto) of Canada has nothing to do with how fast your community grows....
