The Toronto-Waterloo tech corridor can be pretty heavily tied back to the slow implosion of RIM/BlackBerry over the course of the early 2010s. Even the companies that predate those events still benefited a lot from the glut of qualified personnel coming available, and there are others which had been funded or bootstrapped by early RIM employees.

Where I work at BlackBerry it seems to be all ex-Nortel people. So it goes.
