A comment on A Canadian payroll dependency chart. Parent comment
When I had a small software consultancy in Toronto (10 years back), we also primarily looked for US clients.
We had a running joke in the office that went something like..
Canadian client: here are my vague business requirements, tell me exactly what this will cost before we start.
US client: here's exactly how much money I have, let's work together to figure out how I can make the most of it.
There's such a conservative and risk-averse mentality in Canadian business, and it leads to a lack of trust and innovation.
