This is funny, in Miami, who we didn't know in Toronto, who we met down here.

that's my irony it is took it to the meet up in florida and miami to bring you canadians together you know exactly canada in the u.s number one was like on top of each other you're on top of us i guess north to south what's the biggest difference between canada and the u.s mentality business i don't know if i've ever already asked a canadian that before i don't know you're still a canadian are

Are you now, how does that work?

I'm still a Canadian.

I'm still a Canadian citizen.

I have my green card down here.

Okay.

But I'm still a Canadian citizen.

I still have my passport.

I think the biggest mentality that I've noticed from a business perspective, and this is something that I think a lot of Canadians will agree with.

We're more risk adverse.

We don't take as many shots and chances as I see American entrepreneurs take.

Even in investing in startups, there's a startup incubator, like a Y Combinator.

And if people don't know what Y Combinator is, it's an incubator out of SF, San Francisco.

And it's one of the most famous incubators.

They've invested in some of the biggest tech companies in the world that have gone through Y Combinator.

And they invest in companies knowing that probably nine of the companies they invest in are going to fail.

But the one company that's going to do well is going to turn into an Airbnb or Uber or whatever.

or the next Facebook.

And that takes a certain amount of risk.
