Indeed, but it points out one thing by glaring omission: while Canada may well need entrepreneurs, why would entrepreneurs need Canada?
More specifically entrepreneurs need a good environment in which to do their thing and as this article mentions, but only a bit, Canada just doesn't provide that environment.
Heck, I had no idea until it was reversed that foreign startup investment was impractical due to needless red tape. That fact and Canada's long delay in fixing it tells you rather a lot.
Also telling are the three suggestions for improvement which are all top-down, governmental sort of things.
BTW, how many top universities in Canada are private vs. public?
