Trump's folly will undoubtedly create opportunities in Canada for bright, well educated people from all over the world (including the U.S.). Those opportunities might help offset but certainly not obviate the collateral damage to Canada from this neanderthal presidency. 

But I continue to take issue with the policies of this government and the previous government when it comes to the ease with which large employers are able to recruit skills outside Canada - often at dramatically lower costs - that are readily available within Canada.  The article for example points out that Influitive 'has just hired a new director of finance and operations from India who had considered Silicon Valley job offers but passed on them in favour of the job in Toronto.' This while there are literally thousands of business graduates and displaced workers with strong business skills across this country seeking exactly such jobs.
