Big corporations dont just move their headquarters to a city like vancouver...

We need people to get off their ass and build some businesses in Vancouver.

The business community in Vancouver is very small, and it is as much a symptom of the people and local culture as it is taxes and incentives. Vancouver attracts a certain type of person, it just so happens that the type of person it attracts is more interested in spending a thursday evening hiking the mountains rather than working late.

Whether or not that is a bad thing is certainly up for debate, but that is the truth.
