What a bizarre article.  I don't know if any Canadian urban centre will 'win' the Amazon bid, but I thinks it's a potentially huge boon for our economy and for young people.  And, though I thought this was an awkward thing to slip in there really, there are tons of women in tech today (I'm one) who may or may not be in programming (really not everyone's cup of tea), but who are earning a very good living doing a variety of things - whether writing, managing projects, QA, etc.  

Anyway, it's weird to see Canada's 'national paper' publishing such anti-opportunity articles.
