Amazon HQ2: Vancouver as a candidate?

[cornholio]

One also must remember this is a second global headquarter, not a regional one. Locating across the border doesn't make sense as it complicates operations and adds tremendous risk over the coming decades as regulations change. Canada is not particularly stable in their relation ship to the US and its why companies generally move from Canada to the US, not the other way around. Really it makes no sense to operate in Canada if you don't have to and I don't see why they would have to. (keep in mind this is their headquarters and different from their distribution and outsourced development offices that try to tap workers but can be shut down on a moments notice without disrupting the company..the Amazon offices in Vancouver are temporary and any sort of restructure or downsize / ramp down can mean they close doors overnight)
