I'd love to support startups in Canada, the land of my birth.

But now whenever I go to Ottawa to visit an ailing family member, they look at the contents of my hard drives and memory cards at Customs.

So that kind of governmental philosophy is maybe part of why there isn't more going on and more info available online.

But you definitely don't need to be in the U.S. to do a tech startup. Go for it!

Just think about locating to a less expensive country that feels less need to pry into your memory ;).

I don't know why Canada Customs is picking on you; but lots of countries, including the US, perform searches of digital media.
