I beg to differ.  On the issue of tech sector, U Waterloo obviously puts out many great students.  UBC isn&#x27;t really known for it&#x27;s tech streams.  In addition, there&#x27;s likely many smart tech people from RIM looking for jobs in the KW area.<p>As for the issue of where people want to live.  Vancouver is likely even more costly to live than SV.  KW (and southern Ontario in general) is a great place with warm weather 6 months per year and access to the 3rd largest city in North America.<p>In my opinion, KW would make a better YC V2 location.
