Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
I'm based in Vancouver and have been freelancing and telecommuting for companies in the US the last few years.
Most of the quality people I know are doing the same. And before telecommuting took off, we'd do 6 month contracts in California during the original dotcom.
Workwise, stay away from Vancouver.

I'm moving a couple of servers off AWS and onto servers in Canada as we speak.
Earlier this morning, I moved all my Dropbox and Google Drive data onto a self-hosted server, migrated off Google Reader to a native RSS reader app, and will deal with Email, DNS, etc... over the next few days.
Mind you, the NSA scandal wasn't the prime motivation in all cases... ie. Google Reader being shutdown next month, AWS getting a bit pricey and bureaucratic, etc... but it did give me the kick in the ass.

My apologies, I missed the sarcasm. The scary thing is I think I missed it because its exactly how the Canonical Ubuntu zealots have responded to valid criticism to date.

Nice attitude to legitimate criticism (Unity kills productivity for many). I guess thats why all the 'l33ts' and everyone else is running to OSX. Thanks for the motivation.
