Hmm, let's look at the cited "High Tech sources":

TechGirls Canada - looks to be in government handout business, shills for private businesses too:
.
"Proudly supporting Women of Colour, LGBTTQ, and Aboriginal Trailblazers, "
"... works to advocate for resources, funding, private and public sector partnership opportunities, and catalyze joint programs"
.
Wealthsimple - "investing on autopilot" , 2 full time job postings, 1 intern
.
Shopify - that is a big one,  and needs a lot of low cost ... PHP developers ( oh, so high tech).

They are the ones who spearheaded the "10 000 000 coders needed in Canada" idiotic puplications 6 months ago.
.

So there you have it - the Canadian "high tech" industry.
