The city is full of talent and major companies around the world recognize that. I don't really care if it is or isnt a tech hub, whatever arbitrary metrics that may entail, as long as the good jobs keep flowing... And it looks for the time being that they will.

Sophos (virus scanning and fire-walls) also has their North American development team based in Vancouver.
