The title of this posting is "Moved to Canada to participate in a startup incubator that had no money"...
And this is why you don't embellish titles. Even when retitling your own original post.
Can we please not do that, at least here on HN? A direct link[1] to the comment in question would be better for a number of reasons.

I'd like to think that most people ballsy enough to start a startup in the first place will take it as lessons learned and still see Vancouver as a great opportunity. I know I would, if given the opportunity. I'd just be a little more careful now, having read about Statusly's ups and downs.
Hey Danny.
I apologize that you feel like I'm twisting the truth.
It was the last week in January until the end of last Month. While we were there 3 months of the year, you are correct 2 months would be more accurate,
I was just getting the $100k off of the Bootup website, I understood that we got $150k, but that $50k went back to Bootup, is that not what the original terms were?
You did pay our rent and our legal fees to get incorporated. I mentioned the rent, but I didn't mention the legal fees. I apologize.
I didn't suggest that Bootup was closing down or was out of money.
I wouldn't suggest that I got the better end of the deal as it was extremely expensive to move to and live in Vancouver.
I wish you all well.
