> 6) No Accountability – Canadians are too nice

As a Canadian that has worked outside the country, I seriously wonder if this isn't the biggest fault of Canadian companies. This alone could be the reason RIM failed.

They also do a lot of hiring of interns from universities. Namely the one I go to, and unfortunately I know some of them and they are terrible engineers. I don't know how much that could hurt the company, but it has to cost them something. Even though they get tax breaks for those interns.

Yep, RIM hires an abnormally high number of co-ops from Waterloo.
